Royal Mail have said they will try and correct a mistake which has lead to Olympian Laura Trott's postbox being painted gold in the wrong town.

One postbox in the hometown of every athlete who wins a gold medal is due to be re-painted gold in their honour, however Royal Mail had said they would paint one for Laura Trott in Harlow, when she is from Cheshunt.

Laura notified the Post Office of the mix-up in a tweet earlier today and Royal Mail have responded saying they will try and fix their mistake:


@chrishoy @lauratrott31 @postoffice I've alerted our team who do the post boxes - will let you know what I hear!

Sir Chris Hoy had told Laura she just needed to win another gold medal to earn another postbox:


@lauratrott31 @postoffice you're just going to have to win another one in the omnium and get it in the right place!

So proud - we managed to missort the box.
