New Postmaster and Location Announced for Boyle Post Office
A new postmaster and location have been confirmed for the Boyle post office, which will move early next year.
Postmaster Appointment and New Location
Paul Kelly Jr. of Kelly’s Supervalu Boyle has accepted An Post's offer to manage the post office. The post office will relocate from its current site on Shop Street to a vacant retail unit inside Kelly’s Supervalu Shopping Centre on Elphin Street, about 450 meters from the current location.
The new premises are scheduled to open on February 3rd.
Sale of the Existing Post Office Building
Last year, An Post engaged Cushman Wakefield to sell 14 town centre post office buildings, including the one in Boyle. The asking price for the Boyle property is €130,000. A condition for the sale was that the post office service would continue operating.
"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.
"That’s what happened here and we have been lucky in coming up with an ideal new location and the chance to provide a new modern facility for the people of Boyle."
The move offers Boyle residents access to a modern post office facility in a more central shopping location.
Author's summary: The Boyle post office will relocate to Kelly’s Supervalu on Elphin Street under new management from February, providing a modern facility after the original building's sale.
