According to the Post Office, the Grangemouth branch, which supposedly closed for good over two months ago, will open up again on Friday at 1pm operating under a new postmaster.

The Post Office stated “due to unforeseen circumstances, the Grangemouth Post Office closed temporarily”.

It added “customers will be able to access Post Office services from two screened and two open-plan positions within the branch, and the same wide range of products and services will be available”.

Robert Sharp, Post Office network provision Lead, said: “We are delighted to be restoring Post Office service to Grangemouth as we know how important Post Office services are to a community.”

The opening hours for the Post Office will be 9am to 3pm Monday to Friday and 9am to noon on Saturday.
