The exact closure date of Sandown's only Post Office has been revealed. 

Its future has been in doubt since last year when it was announced the Avenue Road Central store, where it has been homed, would shut.

Post Office has said it will close but only 'temporarily', while a search for a new retailer to host it continues.

"We are looking to restore a Post Office service in this area, as soon as possible", the company said.

A sign reveals the Avenue Road Post Office will shut for the final time on March 10 at 5pm.

After that date, Sandown residents are being pointed towards their nearest branches on Lamorbey Road, Lake and Regent Street, Shanklin.
