Jamaica Post addresses concerns about temporary relocation of Negril Post Office

Jamaica Post says it continues to search for a suitable interim location to bring the operations of the Negril Post Office in Westmoreland closer to the town.

The agency says it understand the concerns and frustration of residents and is working to address the issue.

Arising from deteriorating conditions at the building, the Negril Post Office was in July relocated to the Little London Post Office to facilitate repairs.

“Despite our best efforts, we have been unable to secure a suitable location within the town,” the agency said in a statement today.

“Given the rapid worsening of the building's structure, a structural engineer was contracted to assess the structure and concluded that the facility was unsafe for use. This expert assessment served as the basis of the decision to temporarily close the Negril Post Office and move operations to Little London while renovations are under way.”
