Sent a similar letter a couple of weeks ago about the box that is missing at the end of Longley Street/Oldham Road.  I am also aware the one at the entrance to Dunwood Park Courts has yet to be replaced.  This is clearly part of a wider problem if anybody knows of any other that have ‘disappeared’ in Shaw and Crompton please let me know.

Dear Mr Newnham,

Re: Disappearance of Royal Mail Post Box Hillside Avenue, Shaw, Oldham, OL2 8TW.

I have been contacted by a number of my concerned constituents that their local Royal Mail Post Box has disappeared/been removed without any notice.

The mail box in question was situated on the bus turnaround, Hillside Avenue, Shaw, Oldham.

This is the closest mail box for a considerable distance and the locality needed without suitable public transport options which many residents of this area of my Ward rely on to get around.

I would welcome a dialog and some information about this matter.

In the past I have supported Royal Mail proposals to small re-locations so that the Post Box is still available to local residents and also ‘works’ for Royal Mail.

Hopefully you will be in a position to replace the Post Box as soon as possible to alleviate the inconvenience and distress it is causing for my constituents.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours sincerely

Howard Sykes
