CROSSGATES is once again benefitting from a Post Office after it reopened yesterday on the village’s Main Street. The shop has opened on 41 Main Street and is open seven days a week for all services. It is operating as a new-style local branch with Post Office services provided from an open-plan counter alongside the retail counter of the new convenience store. The previous Postmaster for Crossgates resigned in 2017 and a Mobile Post Office service was introduced, providing service twice a week to maintain Post Office service to the community. This service was provided by the Postmaster for Cowdenbeath. Now the relocated branch is open Monday to Sunday: 6am – 9pm. This is 105 hours of Post Office service a week from early until late, making it far more convenient for customers to visit.

UK government-owned company which runs the familiar local outlets has awarded Cennox a £26m contract for banking automation managed services while Vocalink has won a £4m contract for provision of a highly resilient, compliant and secure platform providing ATMs.
The Post Office said last year it planned to close almost a third of its 2,000 cash machines, which are free to use and valuable to the public where alternative facilities are scarce. Convenience stores largely charge to withdraw cash at ATMs.
