Speaking today on the announcement, Janet said:
“I’m delighted that the postmaster from Maesgeirchen Post Office, who currently operates a Mobile Service in the area, has extended the Post Office Service to the communities at Eglwysbach and Rowen.
“This new service will bring greater flexibility and accessibility to a wide range of services for local residents.
“The Mobile Post Office Service is a tried and tested way of maintaining services to local communities. The service consists of a travelling Post Office aboard a specifically designed vehicle, which brings Post Office services and retail products to the local communities without having to rely on fixed premises.
“The establishment of mobile services presents the best possible solution to restore Post Office services to these communities”.
