Norfolk Row Post Office has finally found a new location for the business just 600 metres away after a threatened closure.
The post office was due to close on Monday March 23rd for good after the shop it is located in, GT News, is shutting on the same date.
However council bosses unhappy about the closure have managed to find new premises on Norfolk Street, formerly where the National Deposit Friendly Society was.
Council leader Paul Scriven said: “We know how important post offices are to local people and this is a great example of the council working hard with local people on what matters to them.
“We have been working hard with Post Office Ltd to help them find a new location for this tremendously popular post office. I’m delighted that this move is finally happening to secure the future of this key city centre post office.”
Post Office field change adviser Dave Smith said: “Ensuring our customers have continued access to Post Office services is important to us and this move will enable us to maintain a presence in this part of Sheffield.”
The new post office at 194 Norfolk Street opens on Thursday March 26th. The news comes after fifteen post offices were shut in the Sheffield area recently.
