A new post office service is set to open in Stevenage next month.

The Post Office will be opening a 'Drop & Collect' branch at Best One in Mobbsbury Way from 1pm on Monday, December 9, in collaboration with Payzone.

Propositions manager Natalie Liff said: "The new Drop & Collect at Best One will offer Post Office services from a handheld device, providing convenient access for customers to bill payments and prepaid parcel collections and returns.

"To maximise accessibility to these services that our customers are increasingly seeking, more complex services like personal and business banking will not be available at this branch.

"A wider range of Post Office services are available from the nearby branches at Chells Manor Post Office at Emperors Gate, and The Oval Post Office.

"We hope the community will support the Post Office network in their area."
