THE Post Office at Fairwater shops could be set to move, but residents won’t have to travel too much further.
In fact, the proposed move will see the Post Office move less than 100 yards from Fairwater Convenience Store, at 18 Fairwater Square, to the Premier store at 9 - 13 Fairwater Square.
A Post Office spokesman said: “As you may be aware, our Postmasters operate Post Office branches alongside their private retail business, and it is important that they make the very best use of their resources to ensure future sustainability of both their business and the Post Office service.

“In this case, the Postmaster has identified an opportunity to move this branch into their other convenience store nearby.
“Our Postmaster firmly believes that the move will help secure continued access to Post Office services locally, as well as supporting the viability of their business.”
The Post Office is looking for residents’ views on the move, and a consultation is open until February 18.
It is looking for views on how easy the new Post Office is to get to, and whether the new premises are easy to get into and are easily accessible.
Customers can share their views during the consultation online at postofficeviews.co.uk with the branch code 318632.
If it goes through, the proposed move will take place in March or April of this year.
