LEYTON post office is set to undergo refurbishment aimed at providing a more modern environment.

The investment is intended to offer an improved customer service area as well as making it easier for staff to offer customers information on services available.

The branch will remain open during the refurbishment, which will begin on August 10 and will be finished by early September.

A post office spokesman said: “We expect that the refurbishment will take around four weeks to complete.

“I am sure that customers will be delighted with the new facilities that will be available once the work is completed.”
