Crewe town centre is set to have its own Post Office once again, after a new "Postmaster" was appointed to operate a new facility.

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.
