For months hundreds of our viewers have emailed us protesting at the Royal Mail Collection depot being transferred from their sorting office beside East Croydon station to the inaccessible Wandle park Trading Estate on Factory Lane. There have been protests from local Councillors and Croydon Centre MP Gavin Barwell and we would like to add our weight to these protests.

If your out when the postal delivery is made you are faced with that little slip of paper which tells you where you can collect your letter or parcel and you heart sinks with making a journey to Factory Lane, poorly served by tram and bus services and with minimal car parking it becomes a real task to collect your mail urgently.

Shortly we will be broadcasting an interview with Gavin who with Councillors is mounting a campaign for the Collection office to be moved back to a Central Croydon location. You can sign the petition at www.gavinbarwell.com/parcelcollectionoffice.
