POST Office Ltd is reminding Launceston's business community that April 16 is the deadline for those who are considering applying to provide Post Office services in the town.

Post Office Ltd has been working hard in the local community, talking to local retailers and has enlisted the help of local representatives in an effort to find a suitable applicant to secure Post Office services for Launceston.

Launceston Post Office is currently operated by a temporary Subpostmaster and discussions have already taken place with a number of parties who expressed an interest in taking on the service, Post Office Ltd is keen to ensure that they have had the opportunity to talk to everyone who is thinking about investing in the UK's largest retail organisation before the closing date in April.

Post Office Ltd wants to hear from those with an existing retail business, those who are interested in offering a Post Office service from the current site or who would like to discuss other possible locations. The deadline for expressions of interest is April 16 and further information is available via email from [email protected]">[email protected].
