A Post Office branch run from Alkrington Library in Middleton has been given the stamp of approval by local residents.
An innovative partnership between Rochdale Borough Council and the Post Office secured the service’s future following the closure of the previous Mainway branch at Kirkway.
Local councillors Pat Dale, Peter Joinson and Peter Williams stepped in, helping to find a temporary pop home for the popular branch at the local library.
