Relocation of the High Street Kensington Crown Post Office

On 13 January 2011 the Royal Borough hosted a public meeting with representatives of the Post Office and the Royal Mail to discuss the relocation of the Kensington High Street Crown Post Office. The meeting, chaired by Councillor Joanna Gardner, attracted 60 residents providing them with the opportunity to express their views on the relocation and a range of other postal service issues.

The consultation related to the then planned closure of the Crown Post Office based at 257 Kensington High Street and relocation to 208-212 Kensington High Street.

The existing site closed for business at lunchtime on Saturday 19 March 2011 and open for business in the new premises at 9am on Monday 21 March 2011.

A full copy of the minutes of that meeting can be downloaded here.

The Public Realm Scrutiny Committee will continue to monitor the obligations made by the Post Office and the Royal Mail at the public meeting and raise questions about service standards, when appropriate.
