A COUNCILLOR has welcomed the replacement of a Burntwood postbox after a previous one was unusable for a number of months.

The facility outside the Post Office at Sankey's Corner had been taped up.

But workers have now installed a replacement.

Cllr Darren Ennis, leader of Burntwood Town Council, said:

> "Myself and other councillors have been chasing this up, so it’s great to finally see the replacement postbox.  
>  
> "This one has space for parcels as well as letters, so we’ve had an upgrade too.  
>  
> "Thanks to everyone who kept raising it and to the team installing it."

Among those to flag [concerns about the lack of a postbox](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/councillor-calls-for-timeline-on-plan-to-upgrade-burntwood-postboxes/) during the closure of the previous one was Cllr Steve Norman, Labour representative for Chase Terrace ward.

He told *Lichfield Live* that despite contacting Royal Mail about the postbox, he was still awaiting a formal reply to explain the delays.

Cllr Norman said:

> "Ironically, they seem to be one of the worst organisations to communicate with – even by post."
