LYME Regis Post Office will be modernised in a £1.34 billion national investment scheme, and is also looking for a new subpostmaster.

The branch is one of 6,000 across the country selected for an “exciting transformation” as part of the largest investment and support package offered by the government in the history of the Post Office.

The scheme will see selected branches converted into new, more modern formats over the next three years – and means there will be no further programme of branch closures.

It has, however, offered the opportunity for many subpostmasters to leave the Post Office Network and Lyme’s own Les Gilbert has taken up the opportunity after years of running the branch.

Post Office Limited will now advertise until October 26th for a suitable candidate to operate the Post Office at or near the existing premises.

Mr Gilbert said: “We will of course make every effort to assist Post Office Limited and will at the same time continue to operate the branch, as normal until a new operator is appointed.

“Details of the vacancy are available on the Post Office website along with a form to register interest. I may of course also be contacted directly.

“The process is managed by Post Office Limited but we will work with them to ensure the best possible future for the Post Office, customers and staff in Lyme Regis.”
