They told me that they have more space then is useful at present, as few items make enough profit to justify the cost of the shelf space.   Then  don't think they will want the Edward Mellar unit as well.
so is it just the post office maybe moving not the rest of the shop .what about the sorting office .

The post office have no idea when they are moving they are waiting for Asda  to sort the lease out .thats what i was told last week .
            maybe they are waiting for edward mellar to move to the bank then take that unit as well .if so its going to be a while

Just being nosy  ;D
Does anyone know whether the Post Office is still intending moving to the unit next to Edward Mellors?
The notification signs have now disappeared from both the P.O. and the unit on The Hollins  - and as I’ve not been in the Post Office recently I haven’t had the opportunity to ask them.

They do get parking tickets.  Trust me, I have casework on this!
(and I love the idea of "resistance only" - like something out of 'Allo 'Allo)

Parking is an issue for some people, as the distance to walk to the new post office is more than the current one.   The people who will be closer don't complain, therefore we are not told about them......

A lot of users of the current post office just park in the resistance only parking on side roads, as there is no real risk of getting a parking ticket.....

Have you actually tried to pack in the Hollins car park when it is full?  Parking can often be a significant problem in Marple generally.  Not that I care as I walk everywhere locally.
There is another car park side of fire station,

I also walk everywhere in Marple, so no I haven't.  However there is even less parking on Stockport Road and from what I have seen, that is often heavily occupied.
