Elderly residents hardest hit by NZ Post closures
NZ Post is removing 142 partner stores nationwide, including the only post shop in Te Kauwhata, which will close by the end of the year. The loss will hit the small Waikato town hard, particularly elderly residents who rely on the service, with the nearest alternative more than 15 kilometres away. Store owner Manjit Singh spoke to Corin Dann.
