Following the government announcement, we are now in lockdown.

Cross Leigh Stores & Post Office will continue to support our wonderful local community in any way we can and deliver to the village and surrounding areas as quickly as possible.

The shop and post office will maintain regular opening times with the two people at one time policy and urge customers to wear masks and use the hand sanitisers provided.

We are also continuing to coordinate deliveries of prescriptions from Settle and Bentham surgeries. Thank you for all your continued support.

Our contact details for orders are 01524251415 or email crossleighstores@outlook.com.

Thank you and stay safe

We would hope and expect everyone to adhere to this information and help avoid Coronavirus19 spreading.

We look forward to welcoming visitors, once the pandemic is under control, to our village population that are generally aware of their vulnerabilities.
