When will Hillside will be getting its post box back near the Co-op? It was knocked down by a lorry in March.

I raised this with Royal Mail customer services shortly after the accident happened and the last I heard from the company in June was that the collections manager would be considering it, but they were “also dealing with several other post box enquiries as well.  However, please be assured that they are aware of your request and will deal with it as soon as possible.  As soon as we receive a response, we will let you know the result.”

I have contacted Royal Mail again to see if there is likely to be any progress.

I’m told by residents that it’s very much missed!

There is an alternative post box in the original Hillside settlement by the A92. Otherwise it is a trip under the dual carriageway to the shops on Cookston Road.
