ROYAL Mail’s Rochford delivery office will finally relocate to Southend next week.

The plan was first announced in 2012 but campaigners managed to get the move delayed.

They lost their fight and the office will be moved to Short Street, Southend, from Monday.

Royal Mail claim the move is part of an ongoing transformation of their operations across the country and the new building will provide a better working environment for staff as well as improved facilities for customers.

The Rochford office also delivered to Canewdon and many undelivered packages can still be collected at the village post office.

Rochford residents, however, will have to travel to Southend if their package cannot be left with a neighbour.

Royal Mail’s delivery director for Southend, Michael Devanny, said: “We are delighted we will soon be serving our customers in Rochford and Canewdon from our existing site in Southend.

“There will be no impact on deliveries as a result of the move and we aim to continue to provide a consistent and high quality service to our customers in Rochford and Canewdon.”
