Kidwelly Post Office

22/09/2026

We would like to announce that we're close to an agreement with a Postmaster who wishes to run Kidwelly Post Office.

Obviously we're unable to say anymore but they are hopeful of opening within the next few weeks (before Christmas).

Please feel free to contact the Post Office to tell them that Kidwelly needs its Post Office back open ASAP.

If you need help with any Post Office product or service our comprehensive support section is here to help you find the answers you need quickly and easily

PLEASE READ:

Hi all, we have been made aware of a lot of misinformation on local Facebook groups so have put together the following to provide an update.

The reason for there not being any updates since the last one is that we're still waiting for the builders to finish their work in the shop.

When we purchased the building a few months ago we knew a lot of work would be needed and the work continues.

We're hoping the shop will be ready to be opened in August. This is just the shop though.

In regards to the the post office, we are still currently undergoing their very extensive evaluation process. The Post Office does this before anyone can become a post master. We have absolutely no control over this and we don't know how long it will take but are answering any post office queries as quickly as possible.

Feel free to contact the post office and mention your concerns, but they won't speed their process up.

It has always been the plan to base the foodbank and community fridge in the old sorting office, that's why we posted the plans.

However, they are not the priority because we still have premises to operate out of.

The priority has always been to get the shop and post office back open as quickly as we possibly can.

That's what we're still doing.

We don't mind being contacted if you have any questions, but please don't listen to local gossips.

We want to be very open with you all, and have been because we know this service is so important to so many people.

Getting there slowly!

A glimpse at the plans for the Old Sorting office. It's not a great hall but it will help us to stay in Kidwelly providing support.

The partioning of the Old Sorting Office will be starting once the fireproofing of the shop has been done.

Feel free to ask us any questions and our Crowdfunder is still open if you'd like to donate.

Thanks!

UPDATE!

We've still got the builders on the shop area carrying some essential work. They're nearly finished.

We've also got them doing a few extra bits and pieces. We want to be open as quickly as we can.

Regarding the Post Office, we are continuing going through the application process and we're going as fast as we can. However, we still need to look at employing and training new staff members.

Don't forget to contact us directly if you have any questions.

Thank you!
