MYSTERY surrounds the reason behind the temporary closure of a community post office.

Durham Road Post Office in the Newtown area of Stockton, which is based inside a shop, has been closed for nearly two weeks and no date has been set for its reopening.

A shop-worker said he had no idea why the post office had been closed and a spokeswoman for the Post Office said: "We are not giving a reason at this stage.”

The spokeswoman added: “We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused to our customers following the temporary closure of Durham Road Post Office branch on Thursday, May 2.


"We are committed to re-establishing a Post Office service as soon as possible and are working hard to do so.”

The nearest alternative branch is at 141, Dumbarton Avenue, Stockton.

If it was suddenly closed without notice, it is usually due to financial irregularities. But we may never know.
