Merrow Post Office is to re-open in May under new management at the same location as before, at 223 Epsom Road (GU1 2RE).
The branch temporarily closed in January 2023 due to the resignation of the previous operator.
This location has now become a Post Office “Drop & Collect” branch for pre-paid parcels and the new management will soon add a wider range of Post Office services and re-open on Thursday, May 15, at 1pm to restore Post Office services to the area.
The opening hours will be Monday to Saturday: 7am – 6pm; Sunday: 7am – 2pm; 73 hours per week.
Post Office Area Change Manager Graham Brander said: “We know how important a Post Office is to a community and we are delighted to be re-opening Merrow Post Office and the long open hours will make it easy to visit.”
Joanne Shaw, a Lib Dem ward councillor for Merrow, commented: “I am delighted that the post office will be returning to the Epsom Road shopping parade at the heart of Merrow in May this year.
“I, other local councillors and our MP Zoe Franklin campaigned against the loss of post office services after the old shop closed.
“So it is wonderful to see that the hard work of the new shopkeeper, to get the post office to agree to bringing back counter services, has finally paid off.”

“223 Epsom Road, Merrow, has been empty for over two years but is soon to be a Post Office for the village once again”
No it hasn’t been. It has been a Nisa Local for at least a year, if not longer.
