A modernised post office will unveil its new look today.

The Post Office in Aycliffe Road will reopen at 1pm today after two weeks of closure to improve the shop.

Service at the shop will now be provided from one modern open plan counter and one screened position.

New opening hours will be 9am to 5.30pm from Monday to Saturday - five hours a week longer than previously.

Post Office area manager Keith Long said: “We know how important post office services are to residents in Borehamwood and we are confident this vibrant modern post office, at the heart of the community, will be popular.

“The modernisation is part of a major Government investment programme enabling us to continue investing in the post office network and to map out a bold growth strategy to the end of the decade.”
