The end could be near for the Chatham ServiceOntario office – again. 
Just over a month ago, a notice was posted saying the office on Grand Avenue East would be shutting down, effective August 26th, but provincial officials intervened to maintain the status quo until the end of September.
Municipal officials announced last week they have been in talks to enter into an interim agreement with the province to operate and manage the outlet, but there’s no word yet on any decision.
If no one is lined up to take over operations, Chatham residents will either have to go online to access government services or make use of the offices in Blenheim, Tilbury, Dresden, or Wallaceburg.
