WHS as a company has survived by changing with the times and is still functioning and the share price has risen rather a lot over the last few months.
_ _ _but the shop at Priory Meadow is another matter, you have to go looking for staff at the Queens Road end of the store and the busy end - at the 'Mall' - always has queues.
The P.O. counter could go at the Queens road end but I agree there is not much room even now.
I hope they don't mess it up !!
It might have been more sensibly placed at the local lending library (unless that is closed down next)

Post Office Relocation to WHSmith
Re: Post Office Relocation to WHSmith
On the subject of WH Smith not doing very well in Priory Meadow, I did hear a couple of years back that there were maybe only 3 or 4 shops in the Priory Meadow that were actually doing well. The rest were there purely to have a presence in Hastings, being financed by the profits of their other branches in more prosperous places.Perhaps Smiths falls into this category.
Aren't there plans to move the library and enlarge it, Richard? I'm sure I recall reading about this somewhere recently.

Re: Post Office Relocation to WHSmith
hi there nosferatu,
as far as I understand it the Library has bought the building next door @ 12. Claremont and is relocating the Register Office up at Bohemia to that building.
The actual Library is to move over different floors at its current location and will incorporate the Children's Library, which makes some sense.

not sure how far the process has progressed yet_ _ _
