The graffiti on the post boxes has been there for some time and leads people into thinking they are not in use, when they are. A fresh coat of paint would ensure people know the post boxes area fully functioning.

    Graffiti on post boxes was lodged mid July 2025 and still no action. Is it possible please for the post boxes to be painted so they are clearly in use? Thank you.
