The future of Galmpton Post Office
A word from our Postmaster, Gary Deare.
Please see my recently produced article on the future of Galmpton Post Office, in which I look back on the history of the Post Office and the difficulties faced today.
I would welcome feedback on the article, either in person at the Post Office, or by email.
There are many ways to support Galmpton Post Office. For example, ask me how your building and contents insurance can help sustain the Post Office in Galmpton.
