Last-ditch effort to halt closure of Crosshaven Post Office

An Post and local representatives have appealed to anyone interested in taking over the post office to come forward 

People in Crosshaven say losing the post office — due to the impending retirement of the current postmaster — would be a major blow to the community.

A last-ditch effort to find a new postmaster for a pretty and vibrant Cork seaside village has been made before the post office there closes this month.

Although An Post said it advertised the impending vacancy in Crosshaven, Co Cork twice, and canvassed local businesses for potential interest, no one applied for the contract.
