Hopton Post Office closed temporarily from Saturday 29 September 2018.

• Medication will still be delivered to Hopton Village Shop, and the owner is going into the process of applying to reinstate the Post Office in a modern day format, but this will take a little time to complete. 
• A mobile post office will now be provided on Monday morning and Tuesday afternoon until something more permanent is arranged with the shop – it will probably be sited on the lay-by of the house behind the shop.  There is no charge.  Please make use of thacility, which will help the Post Office understand the demand fo rthe service. 
• The Post Master vacancy is being advertised.
