Closure of Canton Road Post Office
**********************************

    Hongkong Post announced today that the Canton Road Post Office at G/F, Canton Road Government Building, 393 Canton Road, will close down after the close of business on Monday, December 31, 2007.  The utilisation of this office has been low, incurring consistent operational losses.  The area is also served by other post offices.  There is, therefore, no longer a business justification to keep the office open.

     Customers who presently patronise the post office may use the following post offices in Yau Tsim Mong district:

Kowloon Central Post Office
Location: G/F, Kowloon Government Offices, 405 Nathan Road, Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon.

Granville Road Post Office
Location: Shop G3, G/F., Albion Plaza, 2-6 Granville Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon.

     Local Standing Order Service customers will be able to collect their orders at the post office they prefer.  Customers who have enquiries may contact the Hongkong Post Office General Enquiry Hotline at 2921 2222.

Ends/Thursday, December 20, 2007
Issued at HKT 10:00
