| Bradfield Southend postbox 29 October 2025 (Newburytoday) |
Residents in Bradfield Southend when the traditional red postbox outside the village post office was taped up by Royal Mail in favour of a new automatic system, and started a petition for it changed back.
Most annoyed was Kate Brealey, postmaster at Bradfield Village Store and Post Office – as the new automated parcel box to receive parcels would have sat right outside the building.
The petition reached 800 signatures. In a statement from Royal Mail, a spokesperson said: “Following discussions with the council, Bradfield Southend’s postbox will remain a standard one.”
