Hide AdGail Burnett, Post Office network provision lead, said: “We are pleased be restoring service to Lesbury whilst we continue to look for a permanent solution.”
The community has been without post office services since the resignation of the previous postmaster in September.
Jill Le Marquand, who ran the post office, village store and services including the delivery and collection of newspapers and magazines, closed the shop after being unable to find a buyer.
To accommodate the new mobile service the postmaster will need to change the opening hours of the services at Lowick, Beadnell, Rennington and Longhoughton, from Friday, November 25.
