Street will lose its High Street Post Office from 2025

Street in Somerset will lose its Post Office on the High Street next year, when the village's WHSmith closes its doors.

It will leave the village, which has a population of more than 11,000 and a major shopping centre, with only one Post Office from 2025.

The shop is attached to the now-empty Crispin Centre.

A spokesperson for WHSmith said it was not sustainable to continue trading in that location.

The spokesperson added: "We remain in discussion with our landlord, however we expect our store in Street to close in early 2025."

There is a new listing for someone else to provide Post Office services at its business.
