During this short period Post Office services may be accessed from any conven- ient Post Office branch including: Bucknell Post Office, Bucknell, SY? 0AA. Sue Whittall Post Office area manager said: “We are making it easier for customers to get their cash, send and collect their mail and do their banking because we know how important these servic- es are to local residents. She added: “We are confident that this vibrant new—style Post Office at the heart of the community will meet customer needs.
