It will close at 5.30pm on October 2 and is expected to reopen at 1pm on October 25.

Daniel Rooney, Post Office partner account manager, said: “We apologise for any inconvenience caused to our customers during the work.

"The safety of our customers is paramount.

"Therefore, to allow for the building work to take place, it is necessary for the service to close temporarily.”

The nearest alternative Post Offices are at Newmarket Place and Rigbourne Hill in Beccles.

Public transport is available to both locations.
