AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION at the Christ Church Post Office in Oistins has resulted in temporary closure of the building from today.

It came after 30 workers, including postmen, zipped up their bags and left their posts. They complained of breathing problems which resulted from ongoing renovations.

As a result, no mail was delivered to the numerous developments and communities. From tomorrow, people who collect letters or parcels will have to do so at the Worthing Post Office. However, those who want to conduct business transactions can do so at any other post office.

The temporary work stoppage prompted a visit from Barbados Workers’ Union officials, including senior assistant general secretary Orlando “Gabby” Scott. (TSG)
