I HAVE read with interest in the Free Press the persuasive powers of our AMs and MPs who have managed to secure postboxes for residents at both Brynhyfryd Park and Maes Y Dre in Ruthin. Well done to them for their efforts!
I wonder if they can now achieve a hat-trick in persuading either the Post Office, Denbighshire County Council or both, to once again re-locate the town centre postbox from it's most recent home in the middle of the main town square parking spaces!
Whoever granted planning consent to site the box, completely against all Disability Discrimination Act recommendations, away from the main footpath, should try experiencing posting a letter there from a wheelchair, or with their eyes covered!
It seems no thought has been given to anyone other than those able to leave the footpath and cross to parking area at the centre of the square.
What about parents with a child in a pram, young children wanting to post a letter, older people not so quick and able to avoid on-coming traffic perhaps?
Maybe Denbighshire County Council will, at some point in the future, be challenged for their apparent disregard of the Act, far better though to relocate and give back to the people of Ruthin a postbox that is accessible to all!
