Developers take family's rainbow letterbox after neighbours complain
Kia ora neighbours, a Sunnyvale family had their rainbow letterbox taken by property developers, who they say claimed it was because it was “ugly”.
Hannah Lee and her family have had the rainbow-coloured letterbox – which they share with two neighbours – since the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown.
“During that time my neighbour decided to paint the letterbox as a symbol of love and hope and our kids and all their friends loved walking past it.”
Next to Lee’s driveway is a newly built apartment block, which was overseen by property developers Williams Corporation.
Lee said her neighbour got in touch with the company, but was told it had no idea about the missing mailbox.
After filing the report, Lee said her neighbour called Williams Corporation back and less than an hour later, someone called back and admitted the company had taken the letterbox.
