Ten Scottish communities in the Inverness region will benefit from a brand-new Mobile Post Office starting next month which will be operated by the Postmaster for Dingwall.

This will restore Post Office services to the communities of Evanton, Ardross, Rosehall, Munlochy, Glenmoriston, Dochgarroch, Dores and Farr.

Additionally, this Mobile service will provide a temporary service to the local communities of Dalneigh and Hilton while we continue to seek a permanent solution.

The Mobile service in Evanton, Glenmoriston and Dochgarroch will commence on Thursday 16 September, with the Mobile service in Ardross and Rosehall starting on Tuesday 21 September 2021 and a start date of Wednesday 22 September for Mobile service in Munlochy, Dores and Farr.

A Mobile Post Office is a tried and tested way to serve rural communities.

We are keen to restore permanent services to communities of Evanton, Ardross, Rosehall, Munlochy, Glenmoriston, Dochgarroch, Dores and Farr as soon as possible, so we have decided to go ahead with our plans. Restoring the services as a Mobile outreach is a commercial decision for Post Office Ltd and we are not seeking feedback on this aspect of the change.  However, we would welcome suggestions about specific aspects of the change about the new locations and the proposed days and opening hours. Feedback will close on 15 September 2021. Customers can share their views during the consultation online at postofficeviews.co.uk with the branch code 303840. Submissions can also be made via email to comments@postoffice.co.uk, by post to Freepost YOUR COMMENTS, or by telephone 03452 66 01 15 or Textphone 03457 22 33 55.
