A post office is set to close its doors for building work.
Victoria Road post office in Romford will shut from August 21 until September 7, a Post Office spokesperson said.
This is for building work to happen, said Mo Islam, network provision lead for the Post Office, in a letter to customers.
"The safety of our customers is of paramount importance to us, therefore, to allow for the building work to take place it will be necessary for the service to close," Mr Islam said.
