Customers of main UK banks can access accounts at the new branch. It will be open seven days a week and will offer services, including; bill payments; cash withdrawals and foreign currency; postage; home shopping collections and returns.

Residents and small business customers are also able to access special delivery services, local collect, home shopping returns, and make online banking cash deposits and withdrawals, using a Post Office Card Account. They can send funds abroad using Moneygram, pay bills, pre-order travel money, apply for travel insurance and top up mobile phones.

Mike Ball, Network Provision Lead, said: “We are delighted to restore a full-time Post Office to Tangmere, as we know how important Post Office services are to a community.”

The opening hours will be Monday to Sunday: 7am to 10pm. This will offer 105 hours of Post Office services a week, including late evening and weekend opening, making it 'convenient for customers to visit'.
