A NEW post office which has cost thousands of pounds is now scheduled to open to the public in just a matter of weeks following a consultation. Earlier this year Frinton and Walton Town Council officials formally agreed to save a Post Office branch at the Triangle Shopping Centre, in Frinton. The former parcel hub was located within the Martin’s newsagent but closed in November after the company decided against renewing its lease on the building. The branch, however, which employs three people, was reopened temporarily by the Post Office after concerns were raised by councillors and residents. The month before the initial closure Frinton and Walton Town Council agreed to spend roughly £17,000 to convert its downstairs meeting room into a post office.
