Post Office services have returned to Epsom town centre, nearly six months after the High Street branch closed.

The temporary branch in Epsom Town Hall was officially opened on Thursday, July 20, and offers services from cash withdrawals to car tax renewal, and from sending funds abroad to paying bills.

All of the services previously available at the High Street branch will be available from three counters in the Town Hall, with the exception of biometric enrolment.

It is open between 9am and 5pm from Monday to Friday.

Residents had urged businesses to come forward to provide a home for a branch in the town centre since the unexpected closure of the High Street franchise in January.

Courier services run from East Street, Epsom, but the closure of the Post Office branch in the Costcutter in Epsom High Street had made everything from cashing cheques and giros to collecting mail and sending parcels in Epsom more difficult.

The closure prompted Epsom and Ewell Borough Council to work alongside the Post Office to secure a branch in the town.

The temporary branch opened last week and is run by new postmaster Nidhi Prashar, who also runs the Oxted Post Office – a business she has run for 23 years.
