Newton Mearns Post Office closes tomorrow with no set plan in place

Following the resignation of the operator and the withdrawal of the premises for Post Office use, the branch will be closing temporarily tomorrow (Saturday, September 14) at 12.30pm.

A Post Office spokespman said: “We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused by the temporary closure of Newton Mearns Post Office following the resignation of the postmaster and withdrawal of premises for Post Office use.

“The branch is run by an independent retailer who will also close their shop at the same time. While we always work hard to maintain Post Office services, we are not the owner of the premises.

“We understand how important a Post Office can be to a community and would like to reassure customers that we will be working hard to restore services to them as soon as possible.”
