Armley Post Office to stay open, says MP

Fears that Armley Post Office would have to close temporarily have been allayed after its current franchise holder agreed to keep it open until a new agent can be found.

United Co-op, who run the branch on Town Street, have now said that they will continue to provide services – a move which has been welcomed by John Battle, MP for Leeds West.

He said: “I’m very pleased to hear that the Co-op have agreed to keep on services at the Town Street branch until a new agent is in place. This is a well-used Post Office and there was a good deal of concern in the local community at the prospect of a temporary closure. Thankfully those fears have not been realised and services now will continue to be available as normal.”
