Several post offices across the island to undergo renovation soon

KINGSTON,  Jamaica – Arguing that Jamaicans deserve the best, Minister without Portfolio in the Office of the Prime Minister with direct oversight for Skills and Digital Transformation, Senator Dr Dana Morris Dixon, says a number of post offices across Jamaica are slated to be revamped in the near future.

Speaking at the Jamaica Labour Party Area Council One meeting at the Papine High School on Sunday, Morris Dixon declared that three of the post offices in that Area Council will form a part of those to be renovated.

“We are going to be significantly improving and renovating several post offices across the length and breadth of Jamaica. And, very importantly we are going to be doing three in this Area Council: Mona, Half-Way-Tree and Constant Spring. They are all going to be renovated,” Morris Dixon stated.

“Now when I talk about renovation you know it is not little bit of paint and maybe do some fixing of the roof. It’s going to look completely different. It’s going [to] look like a post office for people who matter, because every Jamaican matters.”

“And every Jamaican deserves to be served in a place that is of the highest quality not just some people but every Jamaican deserves that. And so when you go into these post offices you are going to think you are in foreign. And it is because you deserve the best and that is what our administration deeply feels,” she added.

She argued that the Andrew Holness-led administration is passionate about improving the lives of all Jamaicans, outlining that the government “deeply feels that every Jamaican must feel the prosperity, not just some.”

“We are completely rethinking them (post offices) so that people will want to be there. Our young people will want to go to a post office and we [are] changing up the services. We are changing all the services we have to make sure we are better meeting the needs of our people,” she said.

“I think we (JLP) have the best team, we have the most innovative team leading the Government under Andrew Holness,” she added.
