New Diss Post Office opens after move from 70-year home

The new Diss Post Office has opened at its new location, after leaving its home of 70 years.

Formerly Octagon Craft Gallery and Coffee Lounge, the new site at 35e Mere Street opened its doors to customers yesterday.

The move from its previous site, in 7 Market Place which opened in 1953, was decided after public consultations and due to the short-term contract on the site ending soon.

The new fully refurbished location has three serving positions, one screened and two open plan counters, as well as a card and stationery store.

Wendy Hamilton, Post Office network provision lead, said: “We are delighted that there is now a permanent Post Office solution in Diss inside a modern retail setting.”

The opening hours are: Monday to Friday: 9am to 5.30pm and Saturday: 9am and 12.30pm
