Blackburn Post Office move: Public Consultation

The Post Office have written to the Council asking us to share news about a re-location from it’s currently Blackburn Town Centre premises.

Post Office Ltd, are proposing to move the facility from its current base at 29-33 Ainsworth Street, Blackburn to the former Crawshaw’s building, 4-6 Railway Road, Blackburn.

The Consultation starts today and ends Wednesday, November 30, 2022.

It has reiterated this week that it was committed to maintaining as operating one of their main style branches in the town centre.

The proposals have been put in place due to the postmaster’s lease for the current premises is due to expire and the premises no longer available for Post Office use.

The new location has been identified as available to continue to offer Post Office services to the local community.

They will be looking to create a modern, open-plan environment alongside the operator’s retail offer.,

The Post Office are now asking for your views on:

• How easy is it to get to the proposed location?
• Are the proposed premises east for you to get into and are they easily accessible once inside?
• Are there any other local community issues which you believe could be affected or affect the proposed Post Office move?
• If the move were to proceed is there anything they could do to make it easier for customers?
