The current postmaster will be retiring.
There will be a short period during the relocation where people may need to use an alternative Post Office branch, and the nearest is Blackwood Post Office in Unit 7, The Market Place, Blackwood.
Sarah Cottrell, Post Office Area Change Manager said of the new location in Cwmfelinfach: “We are confident that this vibrant new-style Post Office at the heart of the local community will meet customer needs.”
The results of a consultation on the move, and details of the services that will be available at the new branch, are available here.
