MP urged to demand postbox in Pendle
10:13am Monday 25th February 2013 in News
A COUNCILLOR has called on Pendle’s MP to redouble his efforts to get a postbox outside the town’s main post office.
Coun Eileen Ansar, who runs her own town centre business, spoke out after Andrew Stephenson had welcomed a number of extra services being introduced at the Place de Creil branch.
Around 18 months ago a 500-signature petition was presented to the MP by staff at the post office, appealing for a postbox to be located there.
Coun Ansar said: “We were supposed to be getting a postbox there but nothing has happened since then.”

In the village where I used to live, the post office itself closed but the postbox, with it's rather unique crest of G R, was there until quite recently. Someone thought that it had more scrap value than the true worth of it's purpose.
Openminded?

I do like the idea of a postbox inside the post office can't be taken for scrap or vandalised

I do however think an actual post box INSIDE the Post Office would be a good idea. Instead of the usual ‘just chuck it in the hatch’ I seen of late.
Heck maybe they could have a dual inside/outside box like the old, old Post Office used to have!
