post office in Lordship lane -

[soniala]

i just walked past the Post office , tried to get into Post office but too crowded, does anyone know why the box for the post outside was taped up ?

The post office doesn't do post anymore, they've discovered it's far too much hassle to take millions of envelopes and bother to take them to their destinations.

Try your local insurance shop, perhaps they have taken to delivering letters now that the post office is selling insurance.

Apparently the lock is broken on the box and therefore cannot be used until its fixed.

I noticed the taped up box outside the post office. I spoke to the postman collecting this evening and he said that Royal Mail will be closing lots more post boxes, meaning we will have to take our post to the post office. Apparently it costs them too much money, paying for the postman to collect, paying for the van etc. etc.

I think the use of email is making the whole process non cost-effective, so maybe the postman was right and the postbox will remain taped up, along with many others.

I spoke to them this morning and it is going to be repaired (it was vandalised) but they don't know when.....
