Three post offices will close their doors for the last time today with a view to reducing government spending.

The closure of the sub-post offices in St David’s, Harrington Sound and Somerset Bridge was announced in April by Michael Dunkley, the Premier.

He vowed that no jobs would be lost as a result of the closures and that the decision would save about $75,000.

“While some staff will be transferred to other areas into vacant posts, I wish to assure residents that home delivery of mail in these areas will continue,” Mr Dunkley said back then.

“The immediate savings resulting from these closures will be about $75,000; however, as part of the closure plan, the Government is considering options including the sale, lease or alternate use of the sites, each of which would realise further savings or additional revenue.”

Today a government spokeswoman confirmed that no jobs would be lost and that there were no further closures expected in the coming months.
