Watton Post Office is being relocated to the former Boots branch in Chaston Place and a new convenience store will also open inside.

Originally, the move was to be completed by March 4, with the current branch on the town's High Street having been scheduled to close on Sunday.

But delays mean the current branch will close on March 15, then reopen at the new site a week later on March 21.

No reason has been given for the 17-day delay.

The postmaster, who will continue to run the site following the reopening, "firmly believes that the move will help secure continued access to Post Office services locally and support the viability of their business".

The new site in Chaston Place will feature two serving points and will maintain its previous hours, with the addition of a travel money service.

During the interim period, alternative post offices can be found in Necton and Swaffham.
