Help fight the removal of the Belleknowes - Roslyn Postbox

Craig from Dunedin Central

The Postbox on the intersection of Ross St and Highgate outside Grays Studio is to be removed by NZ Post on February 3rd 2017 - Just 2 weeks away. Help fight the removal of this Post Box by phoning 0800 501 501 and lodging a complaint about its removal. We all know that it this age of email there has been a downturn in the volumes of mail through post boxes. However, this is an important community service which some people, especially the elderly and people running businesses from home, still use. We question the reasons for removing this box especially on the grounds of low usage and the minimal costs of maintaining such a service. We are also concerned about the lack of community consultation over this decision and the short period of notice given.
