The service which will launch at 1pm on Wednesday 31 August will be provided at an open-plan counter position integrated into the retail counter, instead of from a separate screened counter. The new branch will be designed to Post Office guidelines to ensure easy access and that there is adequate space for wheelchair users inside. There will also be a hearing loop at the counter. All staff will be trained to Post Office professional standards of service and security.

Post Office services will be available during the store’s much longer opening hours, 9am – 9pm Monday to Saturday and 10am - 8pm on Sunday. The opening hours which will increase, will ensure that the branch is more convenient, as people will now have more choice of when to visit with earlier opening and service on Saturday afternoons and Sunday.
