A review in March 2010 identified that there is insufficient demand to offer selected services from 08:00 to 18:00 as detailed in our A-Z of services. Therefore from 4th May 2010 these services will be provided during our core opening detailed above. Our A-Z of services directory will be updated and reissued later in 2010.
