A spokesperson for The Post Office said: "On many occasions a branch will close and sometimes just a few days later re-open at a new location under a new Postmaster. This is the most challenging economic climate retailers have faced in decades and we fully recognise the pressures Postmasters face to keep their branch open and serve their local community."
The Post Office is also still opening new sites - having recently welcomed customers to branches in Shropshire, West Yorkshire, Port Glasgow and London. Below is a full list of Post Office branches set to close or relocate.
