POST OFFICE CLOSURE

Halesworth Post Office Closure

Halesworth Town Council is aware that the Post Office in town has unexpectedly closed, and we understand how concerning and inconvenient this is for many residents and local businesses.

We have contacted both our local MP and the Post Office directly to request clarification on the situation and to ask what provisions will be put in place for our community.

As soon as we receive an update, we'll share the information here.

Thank you for your patience — we know how important this service is to everyone in Halesworth and will do our best to keep you informed.
