The relocated branch is open seven days a week, 7am-9pm, providing 98 hours of Post Office service a week for the convenience of customers.

This is more than double the opening hours of the previous branch, with additional hours including all-day Sunday and Saturday afternoon, earlier opening and later closing.

The same wide range of Post Office services are available.

Time restricted parking is available at Market Place car park available nearby.

A Post Office spokesperson said: “We know how important a Post Office is to a community. We are delighted to have restored Post Office service again to Selkirk and with the added benefit of the branch now being open from early until late seven days a week.

“With the opening hours more than doubling that makes it even easier for customers to visit the branch.”
