The service also includes a mobile van that will take the post office to remote communities around Dartmoor.
The former post office in Ashburton, Devon is being used along with a mobile van that takes some of the services to more remote Dartmoor communities.The Hub will provide a full Post Office service, the town's library, give access to banking services and the building will be a safe and inclusive space for groups to meet.The Spoke is predominantly a mobile Post Office, and will travel to villages across Dartmoor that no longer have their own.
It will also offer a publicly available internet access point for people to use council services and make medical appointments.Stuart Rogers is the postmaster in Ashburton Postmaster Stuart Rogers said: "Whilst the Post Office can do a lot of things, if you want interaction with a real person, you have to go off Dartmoor and go to Totnes, Plymouth, Exeter or Newton Abbot.
"If you are further afield on Dartmoor you are even more isolated. We want to use this facility to get somebody in front of a real trusted individual to get the support and help they need." The ribbon was cut by local MP Mel Stride who said many high street banks had closed because of changing trends."We have got more digital payments that are being made, people will handle money in different ways, if you take the banking part of the equation.Follow BBC News South West on
