Leamington post office branch closed "until further notice"

The Post Office branch at Spar in Bath Street, Leamington.

Warwick and Leamington MP Matt Western has said: “I have been contacted by a number of constituents about this matter.

"Like them, I was shocked to learn of the closure, and am concerned about the impact on those who used this Post Office and the others further out in Leamington, Lillington and Whitnash. I understand that it was not a planned closure and it came as a result of an audit.

"The Post Office tell me they are doing what they can to try to find someone to run the post office on a temporary basis but this will take some time.
