In a saga that goes back several years, I have been asking the Post Office and Auckland Council and Auckland Transport to remove the post box located in the middle of the pavement from outside my shop.
This is because people have been using it for things other than posting letters. It is often used as a rubbish bin and with a pizza takeaway close by, empty pizza boxes are often left on top of it. About six months ago, when NZ Post opened the box, they found nine passports of foreign nationals! Were they seeking asylum on K' Road?
As I explained last month, I run a postal service out of Lambs Pharmacy and the postal pick up is difficult with the new bus lanes. That also means that pick up from this post box is also difficult.
Although I would have liked to figuratively ‘light a fire’ under the decision makers, that was certain not what I would have expected to happen. On Tuesday 9 April, someone lit a fire to the post box and in so doing, destroyed all the mail inside.
