Focus Team member Rupert Alexander, while out and about has noticed that there are post boxes which look in need of a lick of paint. He contacted about repainting them, and The Royal Mail replied “Our post boxes are on a rolling programme and are only painted every 2 – 3 years. The only exception to this is if a Post Box has graffiti on it then it will be repainted”.

The post box on Odessa Rd E7 and the green Royal Mail cabinets in Ramsay Rd E7 and Pevensey Rd E7 have recently been daubed with graffiti. Rupert contacted the Royal Mail; the post box has now been repainted; the green cabinets are outstanding.

Focus says : “Residents can e mail the Royal Mail about graffiti on post boxes and cabinets: customerservice@your.royalmail.com
