A POST office that shut up shop last summer, is to re-open - half-a-mile down the road.

Rainford Post Office, which had been on Church Road, will now move to Ormskirk Road, within the 'Out 4 Lunch' sandwich bar on Thursday. September 16.

It will offer the same range of products and services, from car tax to benefits payments and will have longer opening hours, from 9am to 5.30pm, Monday to Friday and 9am to 12.30pm on Saturdays.
