Lib Dem MP for Hornsey and Wood Green has written to Royal Mail chiefs demanding that the post box on the junction of Park Avenue South and Park Road be brought back into action.

In October 2005 Royal Mail told Lynne Featherstone MP that the box had been sealed due to local building work, which actually by then had been completed, and that Royal Mail was to contact the council to see whether the box could be relocated.

Lynne Featherstone MP said:

“Enough is enough, four months is a long time and local residents have been inconvenienced long enough.

“I am asking for this post box to be unsealed and made available for use again at the earliest opportunity.

“This is yet another example of how Royal Mail is letting down local people.”
