A WORCESTER post office remains closed after promising for the third time that it is set to reopen.
Ombersley Road Post Office was supposed to reopen after a refurbishment today (Wednesday).
However, a sign on the door has been updated to say it will reopen tomorrow (Thursday, February 9).
It is the third opening date for the post office which was originally only supposed to shut for two weeks in February.
The branch has now been closed for a month for a refit and it went under new ownership.
A Post Office spokesperson revealed the refurbishment is taking longer than expected because of unforeseen delays.
The Post Office first closed on Monday, February 6 and was due to reopen on Wednesday, February 22.
The date was then pushed back to Wednesday, March 1 and then pushed back again to today (March 8).

A Post Office spokesperson said: “The refurbishment of Ombersley Road Post Office has taken longer than expected due to unforeseen building delays.
