Criccieth: People are really upset about the Post Office cutting back on services in Gwynedd. They’re calling it “shameful” because these services are a lifeline for many folks in rural areas.
The Post Office decided to make these cuts after the postmaster at the Criccieth branch resigned. They say they did a review to meet changing customer needs, but it feels like a big blow to the community.
The Criccieth Post Office will close on January 31, and they’re still looking for someone to take over. Meanwhile, the Betws-y-Coed mobile Post Office will still visit some areas on Saturdays, but it’s just not the same. There’s also worry about the future of the Crown Post Office in Caernarfon. Local leaders are saying it’s unthinkable to cut these services, especially for the elderly and those without transport. It’s frustrating for everyone involved. People in these rural communities feel like they don’t matter to big organizations like the Post Office. It’s a tough situation, and many are hoping for a change.
