BRADFORD on Avon’s town centre will have its a post office back earlier than planned with the opening of the new Co-operative store on Monday, September 5.

The former Budgens shop, in Bridge Yard, closed briefly for refurbishment in June before closing permanently from July 12 to complete an extensive refit of the store.

The post office was originally due to re-open on September 8 but will now open three days early.

Residents in the town have had to use the alternative branches of Winsley Road Post Office, the Lower Westwood one in Tynings Way and Winsley Post Office in Tyning Road and the Hilperton Marsh Post Offices.
