Great to cut the ribbon to officially open the refurbished Oldham Town Centre Post Office branch, thank you to Post Office Ltd. for having me.
After months of work since WHSmiths’ announcement in May that they would close their shop in Spindles which hosted the branch, and years of effort behind the scenes to secure our town centre’s branch for the long term – we can now say that Oldham’s Post Office has been saved!
This means a return of all services to our town centre branch which makes it so important for local people, including digital & paper passport applications, SIA licence applications, DVLA applications & renewals, and MVL (car tax renewal).
The months of uncertainty caused by its closure in May and only having a temporary solution with limited services since June is over thanks to local people who made their voices heard, and the investment of the new franchise holder and postmaster.
