A NEW Post Office branch is opening today on Thornton Road in Bradford.

Thornton Road Post Office has opened at Family Shopper, Unit 2 Crossley Hall, Thornton Road, Crossley Hall, Bradford, BD8 0HH.

The opening is part of a modernisation and investment programme taking place across the Post Office network.

This new branch offers customers a wide range of Post Office services, from posting letters and parcels to collecting and returning online shopping items.

Customers can also take advantage of a wide range of banking services including cash withdrawals and balance enquiries for customers of all the main UK banks.

The new Post Office services are available seven days a week. The opening hours are 9am to 9pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 8pm on Sunday. This offers customers 82 hours of Post Office services a week, including Saturday and Sunday opening, making it convenient for customers to visit.

The new branch aims to offer even more convenience to Post Office customers by extending the availability of Post Offices services in the area. The new branch joins branches at Girlington, Paradise Green, Lidget Green, Bell Dean and Allerton.

Richard Clark, Post Office Network Provision Lead, said: “We want to make it as easy as possible for customers to pay their bills, withdraw cash from their bank accounts, and send and collect their mail at a time and place that suits them best.

“We know how important our services are to customers, and are confident that this brand new Post Office alongside the other branches in the area at Girlington, Paradise Green, Lidget Green, Bell Dean and Allerton will ensure that people in this area of Bradford have easy access to our services.”

Post Office services are offered from a low-screened, open-plan Post Office counter that is integrated into the retail counter, enabling customers to carry out a wide range of Post Office transactions alongside retail purchases.
