Swales Encourages Community say on Future of Redcar Post Office
MP for Redcar, Ian Swales is urging local people to get involved with the consultation to decide the future of Redcar’s Crown Post Office.
Proposals put forward by the Post Office recommend relocation into WHSmith on Redcar High Street.
Alongside the six week consultation, a public meeting will take place on Wednesday 3rd December from 4-8pm at TunedIn, Majuba Road, Redcar. At the event, representatives from the Post Office will be available to discuss the proposals and the consultation process. Only about a third of the current building on Cleveland Street is occupied, forcing the Post Office to look for a more cost-effective alternative location.
Ian Swales commented: “It’s vitally important that local people have their say on such important changes in the community. I have been contacted by a number of residents who are concerned about the proposed move and I am encouraging each and every one of them to get involved in the consultation to make their feelings known.
“I have a number of concerns about the proposed move which I will raise personally, and I would encourage local people to do the same.
“I will continue to work with Post Office management to ensure that vital services are protected and we get the best possible outcome for the town.”
