For many of us living in Atawhai, having NZ Post services at our local Four Square is more than just a convenience —it's a necessity. This small hub has become a crucial part of our daily lives, allowing us to use postal services without having to travel long distances. It's hard to imagine our caring community functioning seamlessly without this service.

Recently, NZ Post announced plans to withdraw their services from several retail stores across the Nelson region, including our beloved Atawhai Four Square. This decision threatens to strip away an indispensable resource from our community, forcing residents, especially the elderly and those without easy access to transport, to travel to less convenient locations for basic postal needs. This is not just an inconvenience; it is a barrier to accessing essential services.

The Atawhai community thrives on accessibility and connectivity. Removing NZ Post services from our local Four Square will undermine this, isolating residents and creating unnecessary hardship. Our community deserves better than to be left without reliable postal services.

What can be done to prevent this? We urge NZ Post to reconsider their decision and explore alternative solutions that can keep these essential services within reach.

The importance of maintaining postal services at the Atawhai Four Square cannot be understated. It is essential for our residents' daily needs and is a vital part of our community's structure. By signing this petition, you are supporting the continued presence of NZ Post in our neighborhood and advocating for the best interests of Atawhai's residents.

Please add your name to our petition and help us keep NZ Post services in Atawhai. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that this vital service continues to serve our community. Thankyou.
