CUSTOMERS are being urged to use temporary Post Office facilities until a newly modernised “local” service is launched in Whitefield.

The service, at Rufford Drive Post Office in Rufford Parade, will be provided at a low-screened, open plan style service point integrated into a retail counter from March 25.

Customers will be able to access a wide range of services, including Special Delivery, Local Collect, and online banking cash deposits.

The branch will be closed for refurbishment from 5.30pm on March 8 until the new launch at 1pm on March 25.

In the mean time customers can access services at Sunnybank Post Office and Unsworth Post Office.
