Local residents are delighted with the news.

Residents in the Buckinghamshire village of Chesham have expressed their delight at the reopening of the local Post Office.

The outlet, which closed unexpectedly towards the end of last year, recently opened its doors to the delight of local people who can now send parcels as before, the Buckinghamshire Advertiser reported.

Robin Rogers, 62, said that elderly residents have struggled for three months without a Post Office and that the reopening means they do not have to travel too far for their parcel delivery needs.

"It has been missed by a lot of people … I am pleased it has reopened. It will help a lot of pensioners and disabled people, it has been hard for them the most," he told the newspaper.

Residents in Enfield were equally elated when their local Post Office reopened, the Enfield Independent reported.

The outlet suddenly closed its doors early last month, leaving many people having to use alternative parcel delivery providers.
