Leaks persist at General Post Office; new roof approved
A leaking roof at the General Post Office in George Town created a wet floor in the public reception area after the recent heavy rains.
Post office staff members placed cardboard on the floor, along with signs warning customers of wet floor.
Acting postmaster general, Melissa Martinez-Ebanks, confirmed that the issue has been ongoing for several years and the roof has been repaired several times.
“The roof at the General Post Office has leaks that have been repaired several times over the years, but the problem has returned,” she said. “In the 2026 budget, funding was approved for a new roof, which was the solution recommended. This project is in the initial stages.” For a more complete summary of the story, please see the below link:
