A RURAL Post Office in Worsley is set to close until a new subpostmaster can be found.

The current postmaster at the Ellesmere Post Office on Barton Road has resigned and there is no-one to run it from April 13.

Anyone interested in the vacancy will have to provide alternative premises.

Rural transfer advisor Andy Wright said: "We apologise for the inconvenience this closure will cause but can assure customers that we will be doing all we can to restore service as soon as possible."

While the office is closed, people will be advised to use Westwood Park Post office in Worsley Road; Worsley Post Office in St Ouen Precinct; Roe Green Post Office in Greenleach Lane or Boothstown Post Office on Leigh Road.

Anyone interested in the vacancy should call 0845 6016260.
