Alycia James, County Councillor for Lancaster Rural North, has welcomed news that Carnforth Post Office is to get a major revamp.

The Post Office on Market Street will be subject to a refurbishment ahead of a relaunch with extended opening hours.

The branch’s opening times will be extended by five hours on Saturdays when the new look building opens its doors on July 1st.

Alycia, who has successfully run a post office with her family, comments: ‘’Post Offices are at the very heart of any community and I’m delighted to see that bosses have decided to upgrade the premises.’’

‘’The revamp into a ‘main style’ branch reflects how vibrant Carnforth is as a town and this is great news for the local area’’.
