Singer resignation confirmed

Ramsey MHK Leonard Singer has resigned as vice-chairman of the Post Office - after just five weeks in the role.

As expected, Mr Singer wrote to the chief secretary on Monday confirming he's standing down.

He pledged to do so on Saturday during a protest march against plans to relocate the town's crown post office into a nearby Spar store.

Mr Singer was only elected vice-chairman during last month's sitting of Tynwald.

Even then, he only agreed to take on the role at the 11th hour, initially telling colleagues he would be conflicted in his role as one of Ramsey's MHKs before a change of heart.

However, it hasn't worked out and Mr Singer feels he has been sidelined by the post office board since he made public his opposition to the cost-saving location.

He says he's not even been contacted to take part in discussions to find an alternative solution - something, he says is unacceptable.

Tynwald last month agreed to a three-month reprieve to allow all options to be considered.
