Plans submitted to convert former takeaway in Hailsham into Post Office and 'banking hub'

Plans have been submitted to convert the former Domino’s Pizza takeaway at 32 High Street in Hailsham into a permanent Post Office and Banking Hub.

This new facility, operated by Cash Access UK Limited, is intended to provide a long-term home for banking services following the closure of major high street branches like Lloyds and Halifax. 

Key Features of the Proposal:-

• Location: The site is the former Domino's at 32 High Street.
• Services: The hub will enable both consumers and small businesses to access cash, make deposits, and use basic banking services face-to-face.
• Infrastructure Improvements: Proposed changes include replacing existing single-glazed windows and doors with double glazing for better security and energy efficiency, with frames re-finished in black/grey.
• Accessibility: The plans maintain level access into the building and ensure full wheelchair access throughout the interior. 

•  

Current Interim Arrangement:-

Until the permanent site at 32 High Street is approved and completed, a temporary "pop-up" Banking Hub continues to operate from the existing 

Hailsham Post Office at 10 High Street

. This interim hub provides access to community bankers from major banks on a rotating weekly schedule: 

• Monday: Barclays
• Tuesday: Lloyds
• Wednesday: NatWest
• Thursday: HSBC
• Friday: Halifax 

   

The transition to the new premises at 32 High Street aims to consolidate these vital community services into a larger, dedicated space.
