Following a request from Ramsey Postal Co-operative (RPC) to extend the deadline from 2nd March up to 31st March 2015 for the submission of alternative proposals from affected staff and local authorities for the conversion of the directly staffed offices, the Board has considered and agreed this request today.
March 31st is the final date any alternative submission will be accepted and no further extension of timescales can be agreed.
In making this decision the Post Office regrets that this will extend the period of uncertainty for directly affected employees and sincerely hopes that the prolonged consultation period does not impact on services provided.
The Post Office would also like to thank Mannin Retail for its continued support and co-operation throughout the original and extended consultation period.
The Post Office is committed to continuing postal services in both Douglas and Ramsey town centres, and looks forward to receiving any alternative proposals for achieving the necessary savings from these interested parties. The Board will assess the viability of any proposals under the interested parties' consultation process after the closing date.
