A NORTH Yorkshire MP has officially opened two newly refurbished Post Offices around Harrogate.

Andrew Jones has cut the ribbon on new-look Post Offices in both Knaresborough and Boroughbridge on Friday.

Mr Jones said he was pleased both the Knaresborough and Boroughbridge branches were being reopened in modernised branches with open-plan shops an extended opening hours.

He said the Post Office was at the heart of both communities and congratulated Boroughbridge postmaster Nigel Hamilton-Evans and Knaresborough’s nominated postmaster Mary Stewart on their hard work getting the branches ready.
