Statement by Rother District Council

Councillor Christine Bayliss, portfolio holder for regeneration and economic development, said: 

“We understand that the Post Office Ltd is considering the closure of the Bexhill-on-Sea branch as part of a nationwide closure programme, although we have yet to receive official notification from the Post Office.

“It is absolutely vital that the services currently provided by the Post Office in Bexhill continue to be available for local people and businesses.

“Even with alternative provision in the town, we are well aware of the impact a closure could have on our community, businesses and town centre. 

“We will share details of any consultation once it’s released and encourage anyone who would be affected to take part.”
