A VILLAGE post office closed since July will re-open next week in a new location.

Bretton Post Office will sell its first stamp from its new home in the Village Institute, Bretton Lane, West Bretton, next Tuesday.

Post Office spokes- woman Diane Vickers said: "Since the previous subpostmaster resigned we have worked hard to restore counter services to this village.

"I'm sure local residents will welcome this news and support the new venture, which is in an excellent central location."

The branch will offer the same range of services, including benefit payments in cash. Opening hours will be from 9am to 1pm each Tuesday and Friday.
