Nia Griffith MP officially opened the new post office in Felinfoel on Friday. Commenting on the opening, she said
“I am absolutely delighted that as a result of our persistent lobbying to get Post Office bosses to replace the Felinfoel Post Office, Mr Sumanan Suntharamoorthy, a very experienced postmaster, has agreed to locate the post office in his shop Chalky’s, on Maes Golau, Felinfoel. There’s no doubt that people in Felinfoel want a post office – you will remember that after the previous postmistress retired, we collected a petition containing some 1254 signatures and we had a packed public meeting. Sumanan is well-respected in the community and having the post office in his shop means that there will be longer opening hours for post office services, and I am now going to approach the council about improving the parking facilities in front of his shop.”
