An independent postal service is opening its latest Kent branch this month.

Post and Packing's Chatham outlet on the High Street will open on Wednesday, July 11, and will join its existing stores in Kings Hill, Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge.

First launched in May 2012 at Kings Hill, it offers a range of postal services, in addition to Royal Mail services.

Chatham store manager Thomas Pinto said: "I'm genuinely excited to see the positive impact we can have on the local community; whether that be for customers simply needing to post a letter, or for local businesses needing somewhere to store their goods and a reputable company to fulfil their orders.

"This will be a stress free and friendly experience to help the local community."

To mark its opening, one of its offers will be knocking 3p off the price of second class stamps.
