Great to see the Priestwood post box finally replaced!
Residents across Bracknell Forest have had to put up with Royal Mail removing post boxes without replacing them, often without notice. If you've spotted a missing post box, email me a pic and location and I'll report it
With Government and Council both now fully committed, I will now be lobbying Ministers to ensure we get on with building it as quickly as possible
