Linsell’s Shop and Post Office will be closing on Sunday 20th August at 12-00pm for major refurbishment and will re-open on Saturday 26th at 9-00am.

Newspapers will be available to purchase from under the Archway leading to the Church from 8-00am to 11-00am each day that they are closed.

The main purpose of the work is to replace outdated refrigeration with modern, more energy efficient units.

During the week commencing 21st August all the old equipment will be removed and the new equipment will be delivered.

In order to reduce the amount of disruption this may cause to the village centre, the Parish Council have authorised Linsell’s to use Woodley’s Car Park to temporarily store this equipment.

Therefore, the six spaces in Woodley’s Car Park will be unavailable for parking from Monday 21st to Friday 25th August inclusive.

Linsells apologises for any inconvenience these works will cause and would like to thank residents for their understanding and customers for their continued support.
