Pop-up Post Office opens in Nuneaton Library to replace Abbey Gate store

The temporary Post Office is on the ground floor of the library.

A pop-up Post Office has opened at Nuneaton Library to restore Post Office service in the town centre.

The previous Nuneaton Post Office in the Abbey Gate Shopping Precinct, closed at the end of August.

The branch closed unexpectedly after being shut twice for 'operational reasons'.

Anne Murphy, Post Office Network Provision Lead, said: “We know how important a Post Office is to a community. We are delighted to be providing a pop-up Post Office at Nuneaton Library.   We apologise for the inconvenience to our customers at Nuneaton Post Office, who have had disruption with this branch temporarily closed for two periods of time this year."

The Post Office counter at the Library will be open 6 days a week.

The opening hours will be Monday: 10am – 5.30pm; Tuesday to Thursday: 9am – 5.30pm; Friday: 9am – 5pm; Saturday: 10am – 1pm.

Cllr Andy Jenns, Warwickshire County Council's Portfolio Holder for Customer and Transformation said: "This is a fantastic opportunity for Post Office customers to be able to take advantage of the range of services available at Nuneaton Library. From browsing and borrowing books; through to local studies and family history; bookable computers with printing facilities; and events and activities for children and young people. All of these services and more are available to library members and joining is simple and free."

There are also alternative Post Offices on Queens Road and Tomkinson Road in Nuneaton.
