Trimdon Sorting Office/Post Office
Cllr. Lucy Hovvels has spoken to the owner of the Station Road Post Office this morning (6th Oct) who confirmed that the Post Office will also be closing. The owner has been looking for some time for someone to take it over, who would need to have premises to operate from.
Cllr Lucy Hovvels spoke with the Manager at Royal Mail Hartlepool 5th Oct, when it was confirmed that the Royal Mail sorting office in Trimdon Station will be closing very soon. Cllr. Hovvels made several points on behalf of our communities across the Trimdons, highlighting the issue of lack of community consultation, and shared the many disappointments which locals have shared about the way this has been done.
Royal Mail are planning for this to happen without any consultation and consideration for the local community and the impact upon our area.
