Brian Adam, MSP for Aberdeen Donside, has today welcomed the announcement from the Post Office Diversification Fund for Scotland that Greenfern Post Office, at the Mastrick Shops in his constituency, has been successful in its bid to receive £23,519.72 to make improvements to the Post Office.
Across Scotland 48 Post Offices are set to benefit from the £1 Million Challenge Fund set up by the SNP Government to help Post Offices move into new businesses areas to improve their sustainability.
The award will be used in Greenfern to purchase an automatic door, coffee shop, refrigeration, photocopier, fax machine, photo publishing, laptop, photo booth, CCTV, shelving and stands, signage, facia and help pay staff wages
Mr Adam said:
“I am delighted that Greenfern Post Office has been successful in their bid for money from the diversification fund.
“A local Post Office plays an important role in the community and I hope the changes that they are proposing will help secure its future at the centre of Mastrick life.
Mr Adam continued:
“We have already seen a lot of work done to the Mastrick Shops through the Town Centre Regeneration Fund, repairing the area around the shops and making it safer.
“I am sure that the Post Office enhancements will attract more people back to the Mastrick shops for the benefit of the whole community”.
