New Postmaster and Location Announced for Boyle Post Office
The post office in Boyle will relocate early next year, with a new postmaster appointed. Paul Kelly Jnr from Kelly’s Supervalu Boyle has accepted the offer to manage the post office.
The post office will move from its current site on Shop Street to the Supervalu Shopping Centre at Elphin Street, about 450 meters from the existing location. The new premises, a vacant retail unit inside Kelly’s Supervalu, are set to open on February 3rd.
Sale of Old Post Office Building
Last year, An Post engaged auctioneers Cushman Wakefield to manage the sale of 14 town centre post offices, including the Boyle building, with an asking price of €130,000.
“Yes when we placed the former post office on the market we were doing so on the basis that it would remain as a post office. However, one could never rule out the new contractor giving up their contract, as happened here, not that new applicants would favour a new location,” said the An Post spokesperson.
The spokesperson added that despite the contract changes, they secured an excellent new location providing a modern facility for Boyle residents.
Summary
Boyle’s post office is moving to a centrally located unit within Kelly’s Supervalu, managed by Paul Kelly Jnr, offering a modern, convenient service to the local community from February 3rd.
Author's summary: The Boyle post office will reopen at Kelly’s Supervalu under new management, ensuring a modern facility and continuity of service from early next year.
