THE Mayor of Wareham Dina Adkins has welcomed a new post box outside the town's North Street Post Office.

Wareham has been without a post box in the centre of town for several months, following refurbishment and redesign of the post office interior.

Cllr Adkins said: "This is a very welcome return to normal service for Wareham and I thank Royal Mail for ensuring we got what we wanted.

"Local people were getting very frustrated having to queue up simply to post a letter inside the post office.

"I also thank the post office staff for their patience while the box was being made to order by Royal Mail.

"Well done everybody."
