A MOBILE service has restored Post Office services to Flintshire communities.

The Post Office says mobile service presented the best interim solution to restore services to those communities after temporary closures of the local Post Office branches, while we continue to search for permanent solution.

The new service will serve the communities of Mancot, Saltney Ferry, Drury and Bwlchgwyn.

It has also started to provide a new service to New Brighton and Llanferres.

The mobile service to all locations above began on the week starting November 16.

The service is provided by the Postmaster for Flint..

In June, the Flint Mobile Post Office service started to replace services that could not operate in village halls due to the pandemic.

The Mobile Post Office is now permanent for the communities in Cilcain, Nannerch, Rhosesmor, Halkyn, Pentre Halkyn, Thornton Hough, Willaston, Mynydd Isa, Sychdyn, Northop Hall, Treuddyn, Llandegla, Llanarmon Yn Lal and Eryrys.

The Flint Mobile van also provides service to Thourton Hough and Willaston. These may return to the village halls when access is possible.

Carol Williams, Network Provision Lead, said: “We are delighted to have restored Post Office service to Mancot, Saltney Ferry, Drury and Bwlchgwyn and provided new services to the communities of New Brighton and Llanferres.
