Westhoughton Post Office on Market Street was visited by Trading Standards officers on Thursday following complaints about items being sold at the premises.

Officers carried out an inspection and seized a number of toys and other products they deemed unsafe or illegal for sale in the UK. These items are believed to have failed to meet national safety standards.

A spokesperson confirmed that Trading Standards are now in contact with the shop’s owner and will speak to them directly before deciding whether any further action is needed.
