Local MSP Welcomes Portessie Post Office Announcement

Banffshire & Buchan Coast MSP Stewart Stevenson has welcomed confirmation from the Post Office that a service will be reintroduced to Portessie with effect from Tuesday 28 November.

Commenting, Mr Stevenson said:

“The Network Operations Manager has written to me confirming that a Post Office outreach service will commence in Portessie Public Hall weekly on a Tuesday afternoon with effect from 28 November.

“Customers will be able to access the same range of services as previously but will now also be able to pay for their Road Tax, which I’m sure will be a welcome facility.

“While the new service will only operate on Tuesday afternoons between 1.00pm and 3.00pm, I am pleased that this important local service has been restored to Portessie. If it proves successful and there is a demand, I’m sure that the Post Office will be willing to listen to the community should it wish to see the service level expanded.”
