THE Post Office branch in Rhos-on-Sea may move to a new location, with a proposed move to another area of the town.

The couple who ran the Penrhyn Avenue branch, Sue and Dean, confirmed their plans to retire earlier this month after 15 years as subpostmasters.

With the Post Office unable to find anyone to replace them to head the branch, the company has launched a public consultation on plans to relocate.

Plans would see the branch move to Go Local, at 105-106A Penrhyn Avenue, which is under refurbishment to become a Premier store.

The Post Office said the new premises would provide 25 more hours of service per week, including extended Wednesday and Sunday hours and later closing times.
