Tytherington Post Office and Shop

The community shop continues to run successfully with the help of many willing volunteers. The committee under the guidance of Chair, Daphne Brown, is looking to expand the building to give the staff more office and work space and to enable them to offer some takeaway food for the first time.

The Post Office staff have been working extra hard in order to help out with Cromhall during the illness of the Postmistress, Mrs Sue Baines. They have done this successfully and residents of both villages are extremely grateful for their efforts. Looking to the future, they would like to increase their hours to something nearer the 21 hours offered by Cromhall, as business is being lost due to restricted opening hours. Your local councillor, Howard Gawler, has allocated just over £3000 from his Merlin Transfer funding allocation to help out with this project.
