A post office will move to a new home in the next few weeks.

The existing post office in Station Road, Portslade, is to relocate further up the same road.

The current branch will close its doors on July 23 at 5.30pm.

The new branch, which was once the Sunshine Tanning Studio, will open on August 2 at 9am.

As well as the post office, which will have the same postmaster and offer the same products and services, there will also be a convenience store in the branch.

The new premises will be open from 9am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday and 9am until 4pm on Saturdays.

A spokesman for the post office said the refurbished venue will have three serving positions including two screened ones and one at the convenience store's retail counter.

Changes will be made to the entrance of the store to make it accessible to everyone.

People should use the Mill Lane Post Office in Mill Lane, Portslade, and the Parade Post Office in Hangleton Road, Hove, until the new branch opens.
