THE Post Office at the former County Stores will be reopening after a short closure.

It was thought Taunton town centre would be without a Post Office after the shop closed on Saturday, March 30, following the resignation of the postmaster.

But the service will be reopening tomorrow lunchtime (Tuesday, April 2) with a temporary postmaster in place.

A Post Office spokesperson said: “We are pleased to announce that Taunton Post Office will be opening with a temporary postmaster very soon.

"This will restore Post Office service to this area of Taunton. T

"he branch will be at the premises where it has operated for the past five years, at 52 North Street.

"The branch had been closed since Saturday due to the resignation of the postmaster and we hope to re-open by lunchtime tomorrow.

“We understand how important a Post Office is to a community and we would like to reassure customers that we are working hard to find a permanent solution. Any retailer or small business owner interested in running the Post Office and incorporating it into their business should email NTquestions@postoffice.co.uk.”
