Spot Bay Post Office re-opens

(CNS):Tthe Postal Service has announced that the Spot Bay Post Office on Cayman Brac re-opened today, Monday 25 May, after a long closure caused by damage from Hurricane Paloma in November 2008, with the restoration of the full range of postal services. Normal business hours will also resume at Spot Bay — Monday to Thursday from 9:00 to11:30 am and from 1:30 to 3:00 pm, on Friday’s hours are 9:00 to11:30 am and from 1:30 to 3:30 pm and Saturday hours are from 9:00 to 11:30 am.

Following damage caused by Hurricane Paloma, which struck the Brac and Little Cayman last November, most post offices were damaged. Spot Bay and Creek Post Offices were heavily damaged and have taken the longest to re-open. The Creek Post Office remains closed at this time.

Residents of both islands are reminded that all post office box renters will continue to have 24-hour access to their post boxes. Creek post office customers can continue to access their mail at the West End Post Office.

Mail clearance on behalf of others:
Any customer requiring another person to collect General Delivery mail or packages should write a letter addressed to the Postmaster General, authorising a named person to collect mail on his/her behalf. The letter should be given to Cayman Brac’s district manager at the West End Post Office. It must include a copy of the renter’s identification and signature.
