Stapleford will finally get a new Post Office in Sean's Shop after it was announced that the town Post Office would be closed last year. This comes after a successful campaign by Anna Soubry and local councillors to prevent the Post Office from moving to Bargain Booze against residents' wishes. Councillors gathered a petition and Anna Soubry met Post Office Chief Executive before the Post Office agreed that providing the service in an off-licence would be unsuitable.
Plans to move the Post Office to the new favoured site will now begin after a six-week consultation period.
