Councillor Diane Williamson and her Crompton Councillor Colleagues have welcomed the news that High Crompton Post Office and Londis has re-opened following a ram raid which saw the well-used community asset put out of action for several months.

Diane said “the loss of this building had a massive impact on local residents that’s why my colleagues have been working with the owners of Post Office to put measures in place so that hopefully it will never happen again”

In a joint operation with Councillors, Council Officers, Highway Engineers and the owners a raised reinforced kerb will be installed in the front of the building.

Cllr Williamson added “we are also using this opportunity to install a number of railings at the side of the car park to prevent users of the car park exiting over the footpath instead of going back out the way they came”
