The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps he is taking to resolve operational issues at Reddish Post Office, SK5 6AF and reopen the branch.

Answered by Blair McDougall

The Post Office is responsible for the day-to-day operation of its network, including decisions related to individual branches. As a result, the Government is unable to provide specific details on the reopening of Reddish post office.

The Post Office has apologised for the inconvenience caused by the closure and will provide updates to customers and stakeholders as soon as further information becomes available. In the meantime, Post Office report that customers can access services at nearby branches, including Broomfield Post Office.
