It is the responsibility of management to provide pouch boxes or safe bag drop points. Naturally, these need to be close to the delivery point to prevent excessive dead walking.

The actual text referring to Pouch Drops appears on page 4 in the Lighten the Load booklet ...

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

For security reasons it should only be official pouch boxes but these have to be paid for so there is no chance.

You can get the mobile/unfixed pouch boxes,but they have to go on private property unless you have a really good council.We've got a few down our way.
The residents gets paid to have them in their gardens.

Get your DIM WITTED DOM to type up a standard letter when you think you have found a suitable drop go and post the letter with a pre-paid envelope and hopefully they will agree this is how its done in our office.

My delivery is on a new ish estate with no pouch boxes at all!! I leave my bags in a block of apartments which is not a safe bag drop in my eyes. This also means loads of dead walking for me, my manager keeps saying he will sort it. but as normal nothing gets done. I think it will take someone to steal it all, for something to be done.
