New Post Office opens in Hailsham

The Post Office was opened at Sabari Store in South Road by MP Nustrat Ghani and Mayor and Councillor Paul Holbrook today (November 18). The branch will be open 60 hours a week for services including bill payments, foreign currency, returns, and cash withdrawals as well as regular postal tasks.

Six months ago, husband and wife Bala Sitisabesan and Suganya Bala opened a convenience shop called Sabari Store. Since then they successfully applied to open a brand-new Post Office. Hailsham Post Office is run by Hailsham Town Council but there was a need for a Post Office in North Hailsham. The current opening hours are: Monday to Saturday 7am – 6pm and Sunday: 8am – 1pm.

Nusrat Ghani MP said: “Post Office services are key in rural constituencies such as Wealden. Many people rely on their local branch in order to access essential services and I continue working with communities across Wealden to keep our Post Office branches open and thriving. I am pleased that this conveniently located brand-new Post Office is now open and available to Hailsham residents, and I wish Suganya and Bala good luck with their new venture.”
