Almost a year after they were stolen, postboxes have finally been replaced.
Three antique postboxes were stolen from Causey Hill, Maiden’s Croft and Beech Hill in Hexham in September.
Derek Kennedy has been in contact with Royal Mail over the last year to ensure the postboxes were replaced with the final installation at Causey Hill being completed recently.
Councillor Kennedy said “It was a relief that the items had been reinstated as they were well-used by more elderly residents in those areas. At last, after a year of toing and froing with the Royal Mail, we have the three replacement boxes in place. It is a disgrace that thieves stole the antique postboxes in the first place.”
