Ripon Post Office moves to new premises
After more than 60 years in Finkle Street, there’s a new forwarding address for Ripon Post Office.
The team of four counter and mobile service staff headed by postmistress Amy Kaur, has moved to The Arcade, just off Market Place.
The Mayor of Ripon, Councillor Eamon Parkin, was on hand for the official opening yesterday and gave the new premises his stamp of approval.
He told the Stray Ferret:
The former post office premises had steps and no ramp and Mrs Kaur, said:
A key element of the service provided is also expanding – as the mobile post office unit managed by Gordon Royle now covers 22 towns and villages in the Ripon area, with the possibility of further locations to be added.
Mr Royle said:
As well as providing the full range of post office services, the new site also includes a value store.
