Lambton residents will have to post their parcels elsewhere as the beloved Elder Street Licensed Post Office ceased trading on Monday.
The closure comes just days after the operating licensee pulled the plug on their Georgetown site on the 9th of February, reportedly due to financial reasons.
Federal MP for Newcastle, Sharon Claydon, says the closing of both offices will substantially inconvenience residents.
"Post offices still play a really key role in our communities. They're a hub and gathering point for people and certainly for the older generation. They are often a central point of communication to the world", she said.
Ms Claydon says she is currently in the process of discussing the possible reopening of the Lambton service.
"We shouldn't let these important community services fold around our ears without putting up a good fight", she said.
In the meantime, residents are encouraged to collect their mail from the New Lambton office on Regent Street, which is 2.2 kilometres away.
