Peterculter Post Office to close at end of May
MSP Liam Kerr has hit out at the closure describing it as a "huge loss" for the area.
It has been announced Peterculter Post Office will close at the end of the month.
The service currently operates within the Spar on North Deeside Road, but in a letter from the Post Office, it confirmed the premises for the use of a Post Office use has been withdrawn.
The branch is due to close at 1pm on 31 May.
Bosses said they are trying to find a replacement venue within the community as soon as possible.
The nearest branches for Peterculter and surrounding residents will be Cults or Counteswells.
MSP fears of more branches closing
North East MSP Liam Kerr has expressed concern about the closure describing it as a "huge loss to the community.
Mr Kerr said he is planning to write to both the Post Office and CJ Lang & Sons - who operate Spar - urging them to keep the branch open.
The Scottish Conservative MSP said: “The proposed closure of Peterculter Post Office is deeply disappointing and will be a huge loss to the community.
“Branches like this are a lifeline for residents, especially for elderly or vulnerable people who can’t travel to places like Cults or the city centre to access services for parcels and banking.
“It’s vital the Post Office works with operators such as CJ Lang to stop more of these closures from happening.
“My fear is if they don’t, we will soon be left with just the one main branch in the city centre which would be catastrophic for communities across Aberdeen.
“The Post Office needs to ensure local shops and chains have the right infrastructure and support in place to offer these essential services which are part of the footfall of our high streets.
“I will now be writing to both the Post Office and CJ Lang urging them to keep this branch open in Peterculter or for an alternative to be found.”
