Newtown Post Office

Deepa-Rose from Miramar

As some of you may know, the Newtown post office and kiwibank is closing. This is part of an ongoing move by NZPost to change its business model. It has been closing post offices and removing post boxes for some years now, as well as raising prices and reducing services.

Yes things are changing and fewer letters are sent, but NZPost seems determined to make it as hard and expensive to post a letter as possible. Meanwhile businesses switch to the largely ununionised private operator DX Mail.

Locals are organising on the grounds that as a State Owned Enterprise NZPost should be serving the public rather than just trying to maximise profit. There's a paper petition going around and I'm helping by running the online version. It would be great if you could sign it, and pass on this message to others please.
