KYLIE and Chris Hetherton will carry on the community spirit at Bridgewater post office.
Almost five years after a community consortium saved the post office from closure, the local couple officially take keys to the business on April 29.
Kylie was this week completing final training with manager and consortium member Shannon Brown.
“When we bought the post office, we wanted to build up the local business and then sell to the right people,” Shannon said.
“We’ve now got a local couple as new owners ... the ideal outcome we set out to achieve in 2019.”
Kylie said she and husband Chris had wanted a business that was part of the community. “The post office is very much that and along with existing staff who will be continuing, we are excited for the future.”
