By the middle of April it is expected that the Post Office within the village will have closed. The date has yet to be finalised but the closure was confirmed following a Parliamentary vote. It is a sad loss to the village and will mean people will now have to travel to Brigg or Barnetby for various post office services.
The shop will stay open and continue to sell papers, groceries and other items. Ralph and Shirley Riggall will continue to run the shop and serve the village, as they have done so well for many years.
