All public box defaults of this type are handled by Royal Mail's 'A-team'. You can contact them via the Los Angeles underground.

Romec I believe are responsible for the Upkeep. So I would expect there is an Intra link to report it.

However, there is a site where you can report problems on your street. Perhaps you could report it through that and see if you get a response. http://www.fixmystreet.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I have used it and its quite effective for street lighting and flytipping.

I ended up reporting a box to Romec to get fixed as everytime I came to empty it on collection, the door kept swinging shut and scraping my arm...

TBF... We used to get boxes where people would go and fill them up before lunchtime, rather than just come to the DO or a PO and say "I've got a load of letters here, could I leave them with you?". Arseholes.

Well if you called them "arseholes!" when they asked a perfectly civil question, it's hardly surprising they took to dumping them
in pillar boxes rather than coming into the office. :wink:

LOL You know what I meant!! When you're out on collections with 4 empty sacks which is usually more than enough and then all of a sudden 2 of them are full to the brim cos some t*t decided to go and fill 2 pillar boxes with christmas cards, and then a business-just to top off your day- goes and puts a SD pouch in there too, it really narks you off.
