Dilton Marsh Post Office To Temporarily Close
« on: March 28, 2008, 12:36:20 AM »

Residents will now have to travel to the Ham Post Office or Edward Street Post Office in Westbury as an alternative (link below.)

As reported in the Wiltshire Times last week, the sub post mistress at the Ham Post Office, Lesley Jordan, is looking to take over the service in Dilton.

Lesley Jordan is offering a free travel service to the Ham branch so elderly customers can collect their pensions (link below.)

She said:

Quote from: Lesley Jordan
"We have teamed up with 24/7 Taxis to provide the service every Monday until we get the post office in Dilton.

"We are planning to carry out two runs from the Keystore to the Ham post office, which will be available for about 15 to 16 people.

"We will be putting a poster up in the Keystore to inform our customers."

She is delighted and expects the new Keystore post office in High Street, to be open in the first week of October.
