Owner operator of Lambton Nextra & Post Office Trish Firth and Millie Sellar
Australia Post plans to close the Licensed Post Office within Lambton Nextra newsagency from 1 May this year. The news was a shock to owner operator of Lambton Nextra, Trish Firth, whose initial five year contract with Australia Post ended late last year. “I had heard nothing about the plan to shut the post office until recently. We actually found out through local posties, that Australia Post would no longer be having mail delivered from our shop.” Trish said. “It’s a pretty shabby way to treat a business partner when you think about it. No one from Australia Post spoke to me. I found out second hand”. continued on page 5
