Cllr. Alan Salter says: “The Post Office are proposing to move their local Carshalton Beeches branch from no. 15 Gordon Road along to a new location at Beeches Express, 1-3 Station Approach, Gordon Road, Carshalton.  We’re told that if the move goes ahead, subject to consultation, it will change to one of their new ‘local style’ branches.  The move of this branch is part of a programme by the Post Office which will see around half the network converting to new style branches.  Post Office services will be offered from a till on the retail counter in a modern branch.  There are promised longer opening hours.  The majority of Post Office products and services will still be available.”

Cllr. Jill Whitehead says: “The Post Office have started a local public consultation and would like you to tell them what you think about the suitability of the proposed new location.  If you have any comments or questions, please email or write to the Post Office via their Communication and Consultation team, whose contact details are below.  You can share your views on the proposed move through their online questionnaire via the website address: www.postofficeviews.co.uk. When entering the site you will be asked to enter the code for this branch: 17601399. The Local Public Consultation ends 31 January 2014
