The Post Office is proposing to introduce a new mobile outreach service to Crawford, following the resignation of the postmaster and the closure of the village post office.

With a mobile outreach service, a nearby subpostmaster would provide a service at a set day and time each week.

It would be operated by the postmaster from Scotby Post Office.

The new Post Office mobile will offer a range of services. Customers can still collect benefits in cash using banking services or PostOffice card account.

The Post Office is now inviting customers and interested parties to give their comments on the move in a six week public consultation.

Kenny Lamont, Post Office Area Manager said: “We are confident that the new Mobile Outreach service will meet customer needs. The introduction of a mobile outreach presents the best possible solution to allow us to maintain Post Office services."
