We have been asked if the old postbox can be moved to the Co-op now that the post office itself has been relocated. We have asked the Co-op about this and have received the following reply:
With regards to the Post Box, there are no plans to move it at the moment. This is due to a couple of reasons, 1) the existing Post Box is not too far from the new location 2) Post Boxes are under the remit of Royal Mail and since the separation in 2012 it is a lot hard to move the boxes, and we are always quoted that it has a £10k cost attached to it.
However requests for this have sometimes been successful and the Co-op is working hard to see if this can be done.
