A DORSET post office is temporarily closed for extensive building work.

Lytchett Matravers Post Office has temporarily closed for a few weeks.

The reason behind the closure is to carry out extensive building works.

The post office has been closed since June 12 and will reopen on July 26.

Alternative post office stores nearby include Upton Post Office and Hillview Post Office in Corfe Mullen.

Daniel Rooney, Post Office multiple account executive, said: “We apologise for any inconvenience caused to our customers during the work.

“The safety of our customers is of paramount, therefore, to allow for the building work to take place, it is necessary for the service to close temporarily.”

Voters kick all the Republican women out of the South Carolina Senate
The only three Republican women in the South Carolina Senate took on their party and stopped a total abortion ban from passing in their state last year. Sandy Senn, Penry Gustafson and Katrina Shealy from office during sparsely turned out primaries in June, and by doing so completely vacated the Republican wing of the five-member “Sister Senators," a female contingent that included two Democrats and was joined in their opposition to the abortion ban. For Republicans, the departure of Senn, Gustafson and Shealy likely means there will be no women in the majority party of state Senate when the next session starts in 2025.

Supreme Court gives Trump some immunity in Jan. 6 case, but not for 'unofficial acts'
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday said former President Donald Trump is entitled to some immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken to overturn results of the 2020 election but sent the case back to the trial court to sort out which charges can stand, effectively delaying any potential trial until after the November election. The 6-3 opinion was written by Chief Justice John Roberts. Trump had claimed "absolute immunity" for all his actions, but Roberts noted that, "Trump asserts a far broader immunity than the limited one we have recognized."
