Burnham-On-Sea post office was closed to the general public for a whole day on Friday (June 26th) after torrential overnight rain led to flooding at the property, raising concerns about the electrical supply.
Alistair Graham, the manager of the business in Victoria Street, told Burnham-On-Sea.com that the post office had re-opened on Saturday morning (June 27th) as normal.
“It’s back to business as normal on Saturday,” he said.
He explained: “The rain got in overnight and there was concern about our power supply, so the post office was closed on Friday as a precaution. The electrical supply has been checked over and everything is now fine.”
A sign on the door of the post office, pictured, explained the situation to visitors and recommended that they visit the nearby post office in Church Street, Highbridge.
