The Post Office are proposing to move Wester Hailes Post Office to the nearby Plaza News, Unit 23-26 Upper Ground Floor Level, Westside Plaza, Edinburgh, EH14 2SW, where it would be run by a new retail franchise partner. Services for customers would be unchanged, opening hours would be increased to include Saturday afternoons.
From the consultation page:
Why are we making this change?
Post Office Limited recently announced it is moving to a fully franchised network, as part of our wider commitment to deliver a “New Deal for Postmasters”. Over 99% of the Post Office network is already successfully operated on a franchise basis by carefully selected retail partners. We are confident this would create a long-term, sustainable future for post offices in communities across the UK, including Wester Hailes.
Consultation will close on 13 August. Customers can share their views during the consultation online here.
