No mail for GrandTurk, PDA leader blasts PDM Administration

#TurksandCaicos, February 19, 2018 – Providenciales – After weeks of Grand Turk residents not being able to receive any mail from overseas and the family Islands due to long outstanding debts to the local airline, frustration is now escalating as residents feel that enough is definitely enough.

This is yet another example of neglect at unprecedented levels that the people of these Islands are now suffering as tensions are growing and there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel.

A visit to the post office today to check for mail proved to be yet another futile one as there was still no mail transported from Providenciales, the port of entry and redistribution for international and local mail from the family Islands to the Grand Turk post office.  While the internet and private courier services provide for much of today’s communications, there are still important business and family communications and transfer of parcels that are done via air and surface mail through the government post offices in these islands.

Let us hope and pray that this problem would soon be solved and Grand Turk people will once again have postal service to and from that island and be relieved of some of the frustration that is now commonplace.
