Crewe Town's Post Office is expected to re-open inside a new unit "early next year," with strong rumours indicating its location will be inside a former sports store.

The central area of Crewe has been without a Post Office since its facility closed down inside WHSmith, Victoria Shopping Centre, on Thursday 30 March.

This closure was always meant to be temporary, with Post Office looking at securing a new operator in the town centre since.
