GIU – Montserrat now has a postcode system which will go into effect April 1, 2014.
The new postcode consists of a three-letter code and four digits. MSR is the identifying code for Montserrat, followed by four numbers for example 1110, which designates mail going to the General Post Office and mailboxes.
Postmaster Elsa Morgan says in the coming months leading up to the implementation more information on how to use the new post code for sending and receiving mail will be distributed.
A postcode for Montserrat was one of the initiatives identified in the Strategic Growth Programme for the island which would help to facilitate more effective delivery of mail and packages to the island.
