Ripon Post Office to move to more accessible location
Ripon's main Post Office is moving from Finkle Street to a more easily accessible retail unit in The Arcade, off Market Place.
Postmistress Amy Kaur, told The Stray Ferret:
The city's Post Office (pictured) has been in Finkle Street for more than 60 years and over the last six decades the services it provides have evolved.
Amy, pointed out:
The new unit in The Arcade, which has street-level access, will be fully operational by September, when Amy and her colleagues Raj Raj, Sue Lewis and Gordon Royle move to the new location.
As well as providing the full range of Post Office services, the office will include a Quidz In value store.
A key element of the service provided is also expanding - as the mobile Post Office unit headed by Gordon Royle, now covers 22 towns and villages in the Ripon area, with the possibility of a further two locations to be added.
Gordon, said: "During the current coronavirus crisis, when many people living in rural communities remain isolated in their homes and unable to travel to Ripon, the mobile service has grown in popularity."
