A POST Office in Darwen is relocating in August - but not very far.

Post Office Ltd has approved a proposal by the subpostmaster to relocate Sunnyhurst Post Office 100 yards, from 83 Harwood Street to 99 Hindle Street.

The branch will close at its existing location on July 28 and reopen in its new base on August 3.

During this period customers are advised to use Darwen Post Office at The Circus or Moss Bridge Post Office at Blackburn Road.

A spokesperson said: "The new branch, which will be located within a modern convenience store, will offer the same range of services.

"It will have level access with on-road parking available within 50 yards."
