A town's Post Office has relocated after 70 years at its former home.

Diss Post Office first opened at 7 Market Place in 1953 but in April it was revealed that the contract at that location was coming to an end. 

It has now moved 300 metres away to 35e Mere Street which was previously occupied by the Octagon Craft Gallery and Coffee Lounge.

The new Post Office opened its doors on Tuesday with three serving positions - one screened and two open-plan counter positions.

Further refurbishments will be completed over the next few weeks to add a card and stationery store.

Wendy Hamilton, Post Office network provision lead, said: “We are delighted that there is now a permanent Post Office solution in Diss inside a modern retail setting.”

The Post Office will be open between 9am and 5.30pm from Monday to Friday and between 9am and 12.30pm on Saturdays.
