SPAR Alder Drive is the new home of Gregson Lane’s Post Office
Through the new location, a much-improved Post Office service is being delivered for the local community with the counter open seven days a week from 8am until 8pm Monday to Sunday.
People living in and around the village of Gregson Lane now have 84 hours of Post Office service each week at SPAR Alder Drive, a huge increase of 47-and-a-half extra hours each week from where the Post Office was located previously.
The Post Office service point is sat alongside the retail counter providing a wide range of Post Office services including mails and parcels, cash withdrawals and deposits, bill payments and much more.
Maya Ellis MP for Ribble Valley made an official visit to congratulate Bhavesh on his new venture and he and his team then celebrated with a community opening which included children from Brindle Gregson Lane Primary School taking part in a colouring competition and visiting SPAR Alder Drive.

Maya Ellis MP for Ribble Valley said:
“I’m delighted that the Post Office has not only been preserved but is now operating from a new location with extended opening hours.
Post Offices are more than just places to send letters and parcels – they are vital community and banking hubs that so many people rely on, particularly the elderly and those without easy access to digital services.
“This move is a welcome commitment to keeping essential services accessible and convenient for local residents. I want to thank everyone involved for ensuring that our communities continue to be supported.”


SPAR Alder Drive is serviced by James Hall & Co. Ltd, SPAR UK’s primary wholesaler and distributor for the North of England.
