Six Post Office branches across the West Midlands are set to close as TG Jones carries out a major restructuring of its store network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six Post Offices Are Affected Across The West Midlands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The closures are linked to the wider restructuring of TG Jones<\/strong>, which took over hundreds of former WH Smith high street stores. The six locations affected are: Sutton Coldfieldn, <\/strong>Tamworth, <\/strong>Harborne, <\/strong>Erdington, <\/strong>Cannock and <\/strong>Telford.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tamworth store has already closed. Sutton Coldfield is expected to close on January 9, 2027<\/strong>, while the Erdington, Cannock and Telford outlets are due to shut around early January. The Post Office has not given a specific closure date for the Telford branch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three Birmingham Areas Are Affected<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Birmingham will see closures at Harborne and Erdington<\/strong>, where Post Office branches<\/a> operate from TG Jones stores. Both locations are on their respective high streets and are due to close as part of the restructuring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The closures could leave local customers looking for alternative places to carry out Post Office services while replacement branches are arranged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sutton Coldfield Store Is Already Winding Down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Sutton Coldfield TG Jones<\/strong> store is currently running a closing-down sale, with discounts reaching 40%<\/strong>. The store is expected to close on January 9, 2027. Its Post Office branch is also due to close in early 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Post Office said a replacement location is being sought for Sutton Coldfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamworth Branch Has Already Closed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Tamworth TG Jones store and Post Office have already closed<\/strong>. The closure is part of the same restructuring programme affecting the wider TG Jones network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers who previously used the Post Office service at the Tamworth location will need to use another branch while the search for replacement venues continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TG Jones Plans Up To 150 Store Closures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Modella Capital<\/a>, a private equity firm, took control of around 464 former WH Smith stores<\/strong> in June 2025 and rebranded them as TG Jones. Around a year later, the company entered a restructuring process that could result in up to 150 stores closing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of those locations house Post Office branches, meaning the retail closures also affect local postal services. TG Jones said the restructuring was intended to secure the company’s long-term future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
