Meeting packed to capacity
Ballasalla village hall was packed to capacity last night - with others queueing outside to get in - for a public meeting about the future of the local post office.
The chair of Isle of Man Post Office and members of its board were on hand to give a presentation and take questions from residents.
Also present was one of the area's MHKs - Graham Cregeen.
Mr Cregeen says many at the meeting felt the board had already decided to shut the counter and replace it with a self-service kiosk, despite the board's protestations to the contrary and a public consultation currently taking place.
He added that the people who attended were very much against its closure:
Government consultations need 'more objective and neutral' approach
Applications open for role on planning committee
Survey finds half of businesses expect to make cutbacks or redundancies in 2026
Braddan Commissioners appeals for information after tyres fly-tipped on Marine Drive
