– to facilitate repairs to the building
DUE to the infestation of termites and bats as well as the need for repairs to various parts, especially the roof, of the Post Office at Leguan, management is advising the public that new hours of service have been implemented at this Office.
A release from the Guyana Post Office Corporation (GPOC) said on Mondays thru Fridays the office will be open from 07:00 hours to 12:00 hours and on Saturdays from 07:00 hours to 11:00 hours.
GPOC said it will do its best to ensure that persons can access its services in the best environment possible even if this means relocating to another location as it renovates this Post Office.
According to the Area Manager and Properties Manager who have visited this office and spoken to an official at the Regional Office concerning the relocation of the Leguan Post Office. During the discussions one space was identified but was found to be unsuitable upon inspection.
GPOC said the managers then visited the Neighbourhood Democratic Council regarding relocation. They were advised of a possible alternative location but this also proved unsuitable due to its tendency to flood.
While The GPOC has so far been unsuccessful in finding alternative locations for its operations, plans are in place to continue along this vein.
The Postmaster at the Leguan Post Office was relocated some weeks ago to alternative living accommodations for which the GPOC is paying a rent.
A popular pest control company has already been engaged regarding the termite and bat infestation issue and estimates have been received regarding repair work to be done.
The aforementioned conditions had resulted in temporary closure of the office on two occasions and the change in business hours was made as a measure to maintain the provision of public services even as the Corporation is poised to embark on renovation work.
GPOC also expressed gratitude for the kind cooperation of all those using its services at the Leguan Post Office.
