An MP has welcomed the reopening of a post office branch. Nusrat Ghani, MP for Sussex Weald, welcomed the Mayfield Post Office back to the high street. The branch, which was first opened by the MP in 2019, closed temporarily last May.
The post office is now up and running again, under the previous postmaster, Jo Eates. Mayfield Community Benefit Society Ltd (MCBS), the only community benefit society solely operating a post office, has enabled the branch to reopen. Nusrat Ghani said: "The Post Office provides vital services, which are especially key in rural constituencies like ours.
"I have been working with several communities across Sussex Weald to keep our Post Offices from Groombridge to Hailsham open and thriving and I was delighted to officially open the previous Mayfield Post Office branch in 2019. "Mayfield’s fantastic postmaster, Jo, has been a lifeline for many people in Mayfield throughout the pandemic and beyond and I’m pleased that following months of temporary closure, Mayfield has a Post Office once again.".
