THE proposal to move a Post Office on Cardiff Road in Newport has been dropped it was announced today.

A plan to move the Post Office to the Spar shop further up Cardiff Road in Maesglas was put out for consultation last year in September.

A spokesman for the Post Office said the branch will therefore continue to operate from the current location "for the time being" but that they may carry out a further local consultation "on another location in the near future".

He added: "In line with our code of practice, any new location proposal would be subject to a further six-week period of local public consultation."
