Onchan's postmaster says the village's post office will be closing in August
Hassan Patel explains it's because of the new contact offered by government, which makes the business no longer viable.
Mr Patel and his wife Hafswa have run the facility for over a decade.
Last month, the Isle of Man Post Office announced it was looking for expressions of interest from businesses in Foxdale, Jurby and central Onchan to host postal services.
