West Worcestershire MP Harriett Baldwin has called on Royal Mail to think again after refusing to replace a post box which was stolen in Tenbury. The MP was contacted by Malvern Hills District Councillor Tony Penn who raised the issue of a missing post box on Berrington Road in Tenbury. Councillor Penn asked Harriett to intervene and she has called on the company to re-think a decision not to replace the box. Harriett said: “I’ve written to Royal Mail asking them to re-think the decision and be a bit more responsive to the needs of Tenbury people. “In recent months, I have been concerned at the way Royal Mail has reacted to the closure of the Tenbury Post Office meaning that many people are having to make un-necessary car journeys to collect parcels. “Added to this is the issue of Tenbury people having to make extra car journeys to post their mail because of this missing post box and this all adds up. “At a time when we are trying to be more environmentally aware, I would hope Royal Mail could do their bit and behave more responsibly. “I’ve made these points in a letter to the company’s chief executive and I hope that he will respond positively.” Photo: Councillor Tony Penn and Harriett Baldwin MP at the site of the missing post box on Berrington Road in Tenbury.
