Mobile unit serves Ripon's Post Office customers
Business was brisk at the Post Office mobile unit in Ripon as market day shoppers brought increased footfall to the city centre.
The city's Post Office in Finkle Street, which has been serving customers for more than 60 years, closed its doors on Wednesday evening, as preparations progress for a relocation to a unit in The Arcade off Market Place.
The mobile unit, which will be located in Old Market Place until September 28, normally serves outlying villages in the Ripon area, but will stay in the city until the opening of the new premises.
Opening hours are 9am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday and 9am until 1pm on Saturday.

As well as providing the full range of Post Office services, the new location will include a Quidz In value store.
The mobile Post Office unit, headed by Gordon Royle, now covers more than 20 towns and villages in the Ripon area and will be back in the outlying areas from September 28.
