Tipton’s new town centre Post Office opened on Wednesday and is called Unity Walk.
It is a replacement for the Union Street branch, which closed due to the redevelopment of the area, and is run by the same postmaster.
The premises, which were empty, underwent a full refurbishment to incorporate a cards and stationery store, while works have also been carried out to install a new wide door and to fit a new shop front.
There is a dedicated area of the store with two screened serving positions and the same range of products and services are available.
Scott Lacey, Post Office network provision lead, said: “We are delighted that Unity Walk Post Office has opened today, restoring a branch to the town centre.”
