An Post need to get with the times - that's the message from an Offaly Councillor expressing concern over a sudden stop to local postal services.
The body's machines at Dooley's Spar store in Blueball suddenly stopped operating over Christmas week due to a switchover to fibre cables, leaving many forced to travel to Tullamore to collect payments.
