New Ferry will have a Post Office once again, after the previous operator shut up shop in March, blaming falling revenues and maintenance costs.
The new Post Office will open at 39 New Chester Road, right next to the old branch which operated at number 41 - and will be open for longer than the town’s former Post Office. Last September, Vishal Jain, who ran the old Post Office on New Chester Road said falling revenues mean he could not afford to keep it open.
Mr Jain said there were several reasons for this, including trade being affected by the explosion which rocked the town almost five years ago and issues with maintenance costs. Given these problems, his Post Office closed on March 23.
