The retention & development of the rural post-office network is vital to sustain the economic life of Donegal’s towns & villages, says the Vice-Chairman of the local Education Training Board.
However Peter Cutliffe said people must start to think of alternatives rather than just using post offices for just postal services.
He suggested that , in his opinion, local communities and post-offices need to think “outside the box” in putting a viable business case to An Post.
” I believe we have a plethora and duplication of agencies , some of which could possibly be included ‘ under the roof ‘ of some rural post-offices.”
“In summary, and in my opinion, An Post are assessing the viability of each office & the local communities & agencies need to be proactive in this regard,” he said.
