Royal Mail has started taking parcels and signed-for items back to the main sorting office in Winnall, leaving residents with a 12-mile round trek to collect their mail.
Steve was contacted by a number of residents on the issue, and continues to liaise closely with popular local councillor Stephen Godfrey. He said:"I can understand Royal Mail trying out new ideas and I suppose it is true they will never find a system which suits everyone all the time.
"However, I think this calls for a little innovative thinking and for a healthy dose of common sense. There should be flexibility in the system for a much more locally driven solution and if that means using the new 'leave it with a neighbour' system as the first call with South Wonston Post Office as the fall-back, so be it.
"Making my constituents trek all the way into an already congested Winnall is neither helpful nor progress."
