Details

Wednesday, 08 July 2020

Ms Roseanna Cunningham MSP has received confirmation from Post Office Limited that the High Street branch of the Post Office, previously located in Right Medicine Pharmacy, 56 High Street, Crieff, will not be resuming on that site.

Commenting on the news, Ms Cunningham said:

“I understood completely at the start of lockdown when the Right Medicine Pharmacy decided it was unable to continue providing Post Office services alongside its pharmacy business but I had hoped that this would only be a temporary situation.

“Unfortunately, but quite understandably, that will not be the case and Post Office Limited are now looking for someone to take over the provision of Post Office services on the High Street.

“Despite my disappointment, I really do want to thank the Right Medicine Pharmacy for taking on the Post Office role when they did, and no one could have foreseen the changes that have overtaken us all since then.
 
“Crieff’s High Street really does need a Post Office and I hope that someone will come forward who can see the potential of a new business – or of expanding their current one – to ensure that this closure remains temporary.

“Anyone who is interested in doing so should contact Post Office Limited – the vacancy is currently being advertised on their website www.runapostoffice.co.uk.”
