Ipswich Post Office Faces Closure in June
15 Apr
Summary
- TGJones on Westgate Street will close its doors in June.
- The Post Office branch within TGJones will also shut.
- Discussions are underway to find a new location for the Post Office.
The TGJones store on Westgate Street in Ipswich will close its doors in June, as the lease for the building has not been renewed. This impending closure also affects the Post Office branch situated on the upper floor of the shop. Both the store and the Post Office are scheduled to cease operations on Tuesday, 9 June at 17:30 BST.
A spokesperson for the Post Office highlighted the importance of this service to the community and mentioned that the vacancy has been advertised, attracting interest from various retailers. The Post Office is actively in discussions with other retailers regarding a potential relocation, although any move will require a consultation process.
This move follows a previous relocation in 2017 when the Ipswich Post Office branch moved from Sailmakers shopping centre to the WH Smith store, which later became TGJones. A spokesperson for TGJones confirmed their exit from the Ipswich store in June and stated they are working to support affected colleagues.
