Both the Post Office and now the One Stop that runs the business in Tower Street have reacted to a local campaign to save it by insisting that it is not closing, and in fact will be opening for longer hours.

Ludlow Town Council had started a campaign on the issue after hearing from a source at the supermarket giant that Tesco, which owns the One Stop brand, that it was "planning to close the busy post office."

A spokesperson for One Stop today said: “We want to reassure customers that the Ludlow Tower Post Office inside the One Stop store is not closing.

"Working together with the Post Office, the format will change, bringing the Post Office counter closer to the till and making better use of retail space to enhance store operations. "
