A post office has a reopening date more than a year after closing due to "unforeseen circumstances".

Gidea Park's 238-240 Main Road post office is set to re-open next Tuesday (December 12) at 1pm with a change of management.

The branch was closed in November 2022 due to "unforeseen circumstances", the Post Office team said.

Mohammed Islam, Post Office network provision lead, said: “We are delighted to soon be restoring post office services to the Main Road area of Gidea Park.

"We know how important a post office is to a community," he added.
