Overflowing with Christmas post in Clitheroe
C H R IS TM A S post is flooding the pilliii'-lioxes in Clitheroe town centre. Ry Monday afternoon, l-
post was falling out o f tile- tw o ou ls id e _ th e K in g |
Street post office. Despite extra collections
laid on over the Christmas period, the boxes could not cope with the amount o f
mail. A s o n e r e s i d c n t
attempted to post his let t e r , a d e lu g e o l m ai l landed at his feet.
Others took their mail
into the post of fice, but although s ta f f took it to prevent it being lost or damaged, they pointed out that the Royal Mail is a separate service.
