Vale MP Alun Cairns has said he is determined to find a new home for the Post Office in Highlight Park after Tesco confirmed that after considering a number of options they will be unable to house a Post Office facility at the store.
Vale MP Alun Cairns said: “I am very disappointed, and surprised, that Tesco is not able to take up my proposal to house a local Post Office in the store serving the residents of Highlight Park. The company looked very closely at my suggestions for the use of unused space in the store, and although they will be unable to provide space in the short term, I will keep talking to Tesco should circumstances change.
“After having successfully gained an extension for the current Post Office at Lloyds Pharmacy until the end of this year, I will leave no stone unturned to ensure that local residents in Highlight Park have access to an essential local service. The Government is committed to ensuring communities have access to a local Post Office, and I will now seek to find an alternative site nearby.”
