Oxfordshire Milton Park Post Office to move to new location

The existing postmaster at 11H Milton Park in Milton is to relocate his branch this month to provide bigger, more modern premises.

This will be at Signal Yard, 7b Park Square in Milton Park, Milton.

The shop, which is currently empty, is undergoing a refurbishment to incorporate a cards and stationery store with Milton Post Office.

The current branch will close on Tuesday, April 28 at 5.30pm, with the new branch opening, at on Thursday April 30 at 1pm.

In the interim alternative branches will include Steventon Post Office in High Street and Drayton Post Office at The Green.

There will be two low-screened, modern serving points.

The opening hours will remain Monday to Friday 9am to 5.30pm.

A Post Office spokesman said: “The new premises are located approximately 500 metres from the previous branch.

“With any relocation it is inevitable that whilst some customers will have an easier journey to the new location, regrettably others will have further to travel.

“In terms of pedestrian access to the new location, there are well maintained pavements, with dropped kerbs along the route from the branch.

“Parking is available with a designated disabled parking bay at the rear of the new premises.”
