A WEEKLY van was one solution suggested when West Linton’s Post Office closes in October.

The village's community council spoke about the situation at its July meeting.

Mark McDavid, WLCC chairman, said: “It is a community that needs access to post office services, it could be much less than six times a week.”

WLCC member Lindsay Mann added: “The Post Office is not just a shop it is a community hub.”

A Post Office Ltd spokesperson said: “We are exploring a way to maintain service in this community on a part-time basis.”
