A Macclesfield Post Office is closing.

The Post Office at Co-op on London Road will shut on Monday (May 12).

A search is now on to find a new operator for the area.

A Post Office spokesperson said: "The operator for London Road Post Office has resigned as Co-op has made the difficult decision to close the Post Office branch.

"It will close on Monday, May 12, at 1pm.

"We know how important a Post Office is to a community.

"The vacancy is advertised on www.runapostoffice.co.uk and we are keen to hear from local retailers about this business opportunity."

The website states that they are looking for a 'successful retailer' to incorporate a Post Office Local into their existing or proposed business.

Applications close on July 14, 2025.

A spokesperson for the Sutton branch said: "We are saddened to hear that London Road Post Office branch is closing.
