Work has started on a new shop opening in Crewe town centre, located at an old Post Office site.

A new hair salon will be opening at the former Crewe Town Post Office, 17 Delamere Street, which was split into two units several years ago.

The corner unit has been vacant since March 2014, when Crewe Town Post Office relocated into WHSmith, Victoria Centre.
