AN MP has urged people to use their village's new post office when it opens on Wednesday.

Colne Valley MP Kali Mountford said the new business would make a big difference to community life in Holmbridge.

Corn Loft Guest House, in Woodhead Road, is hosting the office. The village has been two-and-a-half years without one.

Ms Mountford said: "I know many, many people in the Holme, Holmbridge and Hinchliffe Mill area will be as delighted as I am by the opening of this new rural post office."
