Morrisons has announced plans to close some of its convenience stores over the next few months, and the one in Oldfield Park is on the list.
The store on Moorland Road in Bath
The Morrisons Daily store in Moorland Road includes the local Post Office.
The Bath Echo has contacted Post Office Ltd to see if there are plans to find another location in the area for the branch.
Along with 17 convenience stores, Morrisons plans to close 52 cafés, all 18 Market Kitchens, 13 florists, 35 meat counters, 35 fish counters and four pharmacies.
The business says that as it enters the second year of its programme of renewal, it is making changes and adjustments to its stores and operations to accelerate growth, optimise its operations and to help mitigate recent significant cost increases.
Although the “significant majority” of colleagues affected by the changes are expected to be deployed in suitable roles elsewhere in Morrisons, there will be a total of around 365 colleagues at risk of redundancy.
A Post Office spokesperson said: “We have been informed by Morrisons that they have made the difficult decision to close the Morrisons Daily store where Moorfields Post Office is located.
“The store is due to close in mid-April and we are currently finalising the date when the Post Office will close.
“We fully recognise the inconvenience this will be for our customers. Whilst we assess nearby provision of Post Office services, we would encourage our customers to use Southdown Road and Twerton.”
The full addresses of alternative branches are:
- Southdown Road Post Office, 101 Southdown Road, Bath, BA2 1HL, distance 0.96 miles
- Twerton Post Office, 105 High Street, Twerton on Avon, BA2 1DB, distance 1.22 miles
