Boycott threat over post office relocation

Residents of one of Cork’s great city villages have threatened to boycott An Post if the company proceeds with plans to relocate their post office.

The warning came yesterday as the people and traders of Blackpool protested outside the city’s GPO on Oliver Plunkett St over An Post’s decision to transfer Blackpool post office from the village core to a nearby shopping centre from Feb 11.

They handed a petition of 4,500 signatures in to An Post’s local management team calling on the company to reverse its decision.
