A MAJOR update has been provided amid the prolonged closure of the Post Office branch in Irvine.
The facility, inside The Hardware Store on High Street, has been shut since early April but is now set to re-open.
When the facility was first closed, many customers raised fears that it might not return.
At the time, it was stated that a re-opening date was not known and that the closure was due to "unforeseen reasons".
Locals were encouraged to use alternative branches in Girdle Toll or Dreghorn.
However, the High Street branch is set to open once again with the Post Office confirming facilities will be available, if no further issues arise, from Friday, June 12.
The company said that "operational reasons" were behind the extended period of closure.
A Post Office spokesperson said: “We are pleased to announce that Irvine Post Office is soon to re-open.
"The aim is for the branch to re-open on the afternoon of Friday, June 12. We cannot give a precise time yet.
"We apologise to customers for any inconvenience caused by the temporary closure of the branch due to operational reasons.”
