A Chigwell post office is closing next month while it is refurbished.

The new Manford Way Post Office, in Manford Way, will have three serving counters and extended Saturday opening hours until 5.30pm.

The branch will close for rennovation works on September 3 and reopen on September 23.

Regional manager Will Russell said: “We understand how important having a post office is to residents in this area of Chigwell and we are confident that this new modern service will meet the needs of the local community and secure services for the future.”

Chigwell Row Post Office, in Lambourne Road, and Chigwell Post Office, in Brook Parade, will be open during the refurbishment.
