From the Bradwell Community Shop web site.

"The Post Office is currently funded by Essex County Council, because it would not be financially self supporting otherwise. However, Essex CC have decided that they will not continue the funding after April 2013, which is when their original agreement runs out.

So the management committee are looking into how they can keep it going after 2013, and one option is for the Parish Council to raise the funds from the Council Tax. This option was turned down by a majority of residents.

However PO Ltd have made a revised offer to the shop, which will enable the Post Office to continue."

The Post Office is open from 9 to 12am, on 6 days a week (not Sunday), and the following transactions can be carried out:-
Posting parcels & letters, Withdrawing cash using many debit cards, Paying bills, Mobile top-ups, Some banking transactions.

The shop is open from 7-6 each day Mon-Sat and 9-1 on Sunday and is run by a small team of keen volunteers assisting a part-time paid manager.
