Fletcher calls on Australia Post to urgently re-establish community postal agency in Turramurra

Federal Member for Bradfield Paul Fletcher has written to Australia Post’s CEO Ahmed Fahour calling for the community postal agency in Turramurra to be urgently re-established.

‘My office was informed late on Friday afternoon that the community postal agency in Turramurra had been closed with immediate effect. This is the facility established in early 2011 after Australia Post abruptly closed the Rohini Street Post Office,’ Mr Fletcher said.

A notice on the door of the community postal agency was posted on late on Friday afternoon. ‘Australia Post has informed me that this follows a legal dispute between the owner of the video store (which also held the community postal agency) and a third party.

‘I know that in early 2011, there were a number of local businesses in Turramurra very interested in becoming the community postal agency.  I would expect Australia Post to urgently approach those businesses – and others which may be interested.

‘I will be expecting Australia Post to live up to its commitment to deliver continuity of service,’ Mr Fletcher concluded.
