Ardrossan, North Ayrshire, is set to lose its main town centre Post Office service before the end of the month.
The facility will be removed from the Nisa Local store, in Glasgow Street, on 25 April after the postmaster resigned.
The closure will leave the Post Office counter at the McColl’s store in Central Avenue as the only remaining post office facility in Ardrossan.
Patricia Gibson, North Ayrshire and Arran MP, wrote in the Ardrossan & Saltcoats Herald: “The loss of the Glasgow Street Post Office would be felt by the whole community.
“I have secured a meeting with Mark Gibson from external affairs (Scotland) at Post Office Ltd to discuss retention of Glasgow Street’s post office and the ongoing challenges to our post office network – and I will continue to pursue the UK Government to do the right thing and save our post offices.”
Ardrossan was in a similar position in 2017 following the sudden closure of the facility a short distance along Glasgow Street. It took a year and a half for normal service to be resumed when the Nisa Local agreed to take on the role.
The vacancy is being advertised on www.runapostoffice.co.uk and the closing date for applications is 30 September.
