Kettlewell Post Office will reopen next week – and once again it will be located in the youth hostel.

The shutters came down temporarily in April when the subpostmaster resigned.

However, Post Office Ltd has now appointed a successor within the Youth Hostel Association who, from Tuesday, will offer the same range of products and services.

Field change adviser Liz Morgan said: “We apologise for the inconvenience this temporary closure has caused, but I’m sure the local community will be delighted it will soon be business as usual.”
