ORSETT Post Office will close next January until a new manager can be found.

The post office opened on a trial basis in January this year at Orsett Stores, in High Road.

Now the Post Office is appealing for someone to come forward to run the service after the former manager decided they no longer wanted to run it.

A spokesman for the Post Office said: “The Orsett branch will temporarily close on Wednesday, January 12 2011.

"We understand customers will be concerned about the future of Post Office services in their area.

“We would like to assure our customers that it remains our intention to keep a Post Office service in Orsett and we are interested in conducting an additional Post Office trial in the area.

“I would welcome any applications from potential retail partners interested in running Orsett Post Office on our behalf.”

Anyone interested in the vacancy should write to Agent Services, Post Office Ltd, HR Service Centre, Stone Hill Road, Farnworth, Bolton BL4 9XX, call 0845 601 6260 or log on to http://www.ukpo.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
