One consequence of the plan to close Wokingham’s Post Office in June is that parcels will need to be collected from Royal Mail’s depot.
Residents used to have to queue in all weathers to collect parcels from the back of the Broad Street Post Office, but this system was changed after a woman was seriously injured a number of years ago.
Since then, parcels were available for collection from inside the Post Office. This will now change, but Royal Mail bosses admit they don’t know what the plan is yet.
A Royal Mail spokesperson told The Wokingham Paper: “Royal Mail is aware of the potential relocation of the Wokingham Post Office, pending the end of the consultation and a final decision being made.
“We are in discussions with the Post Office to minimise any impact of the potential branch relocation on Royal Mail operations and customers as much as possible.
“Royal Mail is committed to delivering excellent customer service for all customers.”
