Last month Rothbury Post Office closed at Mace, Townfoot Store due to the resignation of the Postmaster. This site is to be redeveloped for a new Co-op store.

The Post Office is pleased to be able to reinstate a temporary Post Office service whilst working towards a permanent solution at the new Co-op store being built.

Gail Burnet, Post Office Network Provision Lead, said: “We are delighted to be restoring a Post Office to Rothbury.

"We want to thank Co-op for providing space for this temporary Post Office until their new Co-op store is ready to accommodate the permanent replacement Rothbury Post Office.”

Access on foot to the temporary branch is via the alley way to the side of the Co-operative Food store on the High Street. That leads to the end of the alley footpath, to the small office which is located on the left-hand side.
