He has run the branch, on Front Street, for eight years. But he told YorkMix in July that he had to leave for personal reasons, but it was a hard decision to make.

Both the ground floor premises and the apartment above were put up for sale.

A notice in the window says: “Following the resignation of the postmaster and the withdrawal of the premises for Post Office use, the above branch will be closing temporarily on Saturday 18 September 2021 at 12:30.

“We are looking to restore a Post Office service in this area as soon as possible.

“We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.”

The nearest alternative branch is York Road.
