Milford on Sea is soon to get a new Post Office Branch in the village. The new Post Office will be located inside of One Stop at 49 High Street, Milford on Sea from 1pm on Tuesday 8th October 2024.
Anyone with mobility issues can access the post office counter, and shop, via the rear entrance, which can be found at the end of the alley to the left of the main entrance.
The current Mobile Post Office Van Service visiting in Sea Road Car Park on Fridays & Saturdays will cease from Saturday 5th October 2024.

Previous Post Offices in Milford on Sea
Our last dedicated Post Office Branch, run by Sue Hearl, closed towards the end of May 2016. This had been at 35 High Street, Milford on Sea, SO41 0QF.
As well as a Post Office Counter, the shop sold wool and haberdashery items alongside cards and stationery.
Today the building is occupied by Milford Cards and Gifts.
The Post Office introduced a Mobile Post Office Van Service from 23rd July 2021. The van visited each Friday from 2.15pm to 4.15pm, and on Saturdays from 11.45am to 1.45pm, and was situated in Sea Road Car Park.
The Mobile Post Office service ceased on 5th October 2024, when a new Post Office Counter was about to open in the One Stop store in the village.
Many years prior to this, around 1910, a Post Office has been located at the east end of the High Street.
The building no longer exists, but it was next door to where Milford on Sea Club is today.
