New Postmaster and Location Announced for Boyle Post Office
The post office in Boyle will move to a new location early next year, with a new postmaster appointed.
New Management and Location Details
A spokesperson for An Post confirmed that Paul Kelly jnr of Kelly’s Supervalu Boyle accepted the company's offer to manage the post office. The office will relocate from Shop Street to the Supervalu Shopping Centre on Elphin Street.
- New premises will be inside a vacant retail unit in Kelly’s Supervalu.
- Located centrally at Elphin Street, 450 meters from the current post office.
- Opening date is scheduled for February 3rd.
Sale of Boyle Post Office Building
Last year, An Post appointed Cushman Wakefield to manage the sale of 14 town centre post offices, including the Boyle property, with an asking price of €130,000.
“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."
“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."
Summary
This move ensures the Boyle post office remains operational while gaining a modern facility in a more central shopping area.
