LOCHGELLY Post Office has re-opened as a new ‘local’ service at the Nisa Store, 74-80 Main Street.

The service, which launched on Thursday July 27, is provided at a Post Office serving point in the store, where the Post Office terminal sits alongside the retail till.

As with any other branch, robust security procedures are in place, anyone handling Post Office transactions, including new staff, will be fully trained on all operational and service issues, including customer privacy to ensure they meet Post Office standards.

Post Office services are available seven day a week, during the store’s opening hours, 5am to 10pm Monday – Saturday and 6pm to 10pm Sunday.

The re-opened Lochgelly Post Office will be delighted to welcome customers to the branch.

Local residents and small business customers will be able to access the wide range of Post Office and mails services, including Special Delivery, Local Collect, home shopping returns, and make online banking cash deposits and withdrawals using a Post Office Card Account, send funds abroad using Moneygram, pay bills, pre-order travel money, apply for travel insurance and top up mobile phones.

Kenny Lamont, Post Office Network Operations Area, 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 services are to local residents.

“We are confident that this vibrant new-style Post Office at the heart of the local community will meet customer needs.”

The town has had sporadic Post Office services over the past few years since it was previously situated in this building.

The public will be hoping that the service now settles down and is something they will be able to rely on
