Prior to the move, Bramley Road Post Office will close for refurbishment from Thursday, 7th March.

After reopening, postal services will be provided from a low-screened counter, alongside the retail counter.

During the two-week closure customers are advised to use Enfield Road Post Office or Cockfosters Post Office instead.
