A proposal to move Axminster Post Office to the Old Boots store in Trinity Square will now not be going ahead as planned.

The plan was to move to Trinity Square (formerly Boots), in Axminster, EX13 5AP. However after customer feedback raised concerns about parking for mail collectors at the new location, the plan has been binned.

Axminster post office will continue to operate from its existing location of West Street, Axminster, EX13 5NU.

A spokesman for the Post Office said: "We engaged locally in an effort to secure safe access for mail collections and loading for the proposed site, however we were unable to secure a viable solution.

"Any further proposal for this proposed location would be subject to further engagement and a new location proposal would be subject to a further 6-week period of local public consultation.

"Post Office will not be proceeding with relocation to Trinity Square (formerly Boots), Axminster, EX13 5AP and they will continue to operate from current location."
