Please use the Post Office as little as possible. Then we can fill the shelves. Both our shops and post offices are open as usual. Please co-operate.
Only 6 customers at a time at a distance to keep everyone safe. Please co-operate. One in – one out basis. So please ask before you come in. We are trying our best to serve our lovely community.
