Wigston Post Office in Bell Street, Wigston Magna, is to be upgraded and modernised which, says MP Sir Edward Garnier, is to be welcomed even though it will be temporarily closed while the work is completed.
The Post Office will be closed from Monday 15 July at 5.30pm until Friday 26 July at 1pm. During this time the department store housing the Post Office will remain open as usual and Post Office customers can use the post offices on Launceston Road or in Oadby.
Sir Edward commented: “I am pleased that Wigston Post Office is being modernised. It will be open plan with six staff positions for customers; it will be open for longer to enable customers to get there after work and there will be a hearing loop to help people with hearing difficulties. I am sure the inconvenience caused by the brief closure will be offset by the benefits it will bring to the people of Wigston.”
