Julie Edge explains decision to appoint 'service partner'
Yesterday evening, it was announced the post office had agreed to seek expressions of interest for a new 'service partner' in Ballasalla - but not a sub-postmaster.
It follows a consultation process, where many interested parties said they wanted a personable face-to-face service - rather than the automated kiosk facility originally proposed.
The successful applicant will help customers operate the touch screen services, and provide advice for completing paper-based services.
Post Office Chair Julie Edge MHK explained more about the decision to Dollin Mercer:
'Essential' that school staff recognise the signs of an allergic reaction
'High' risk of wildfires over the next week
'Come From Away' to continue after cast member injured during rehearsal
'Parks in worse state then when I started' says Peel commissioner
