Reported a green bag drop box with a broken lock on monday. Still not been fixed. Reported that it had not been fixed. Was told it was not classed as priority as it was not a H&S issue. So the fact that someone can steal all the mail.......... Unbelievable.

Same in the LA area, (and before anyone asks, no not Los Angeles, wish it was though :Very Happy ), we are told they won't spend money on repairs because they will be obsolete when van sharing comes in

:so there

they are deluded
wait till they are short of drivers and end up accelerating bodies out as per the 'old set up'
they will still need/use pouch boxes
even doing P&L
its sometimes easier to use a pouch in a bit its tricky to park or not so practical to split
