The Post Office in Headington reopened today at 1pm (Tuesday, September 15), nine months after the area lost its branch.
More than 1,200 people signed a campaign for its future after it was forced shut in London Road because the building which it was in was going to be demolished.

Formerly inside the Co-Op, the Post Office closed on December 31 last year to make way for research and office space.
It is now at number 12 Windmill Road, with its opening hours set to be from 9am to 5.30pm, Monday to Saturday.

“The new premises will have a wide door and a ramp at the entrance. Internally, there will be a hearing loop and space for a wheelchair.
“This re-opening of the branch in a new location is a commercial decision for Post Office and we are not seeking feedback on this aspect of the change.
“However, we would welcome suggestions and feedback about access into and inside the new premises.”
