No more mail in the mailbox or on the mat. PostNL has decided 34 households to Griendweg in the Amersfoort Vathorst no longer provide post because their mailboxes are too far from the public road.
"This can not just?"
At the stairs to the house to is a pile of waterlogged papers. It is a typical picture of the situation of the 34 disconcerted Amersfoortse households. They get two weeks since no post more, because their mailboxes are more than ten meters from the road. Sometimes only fifteen, but sometimes 100.
Letter
What began a year ago with a letter from PostNL the wooden planking on the pedestrian bridge for their home to be smooth and a postal worker who broke his leg and suffered bruises, ended in empty mailboxes. To get the station residents have to go to the post sorting PostNL on the industrial Isselt. Fifteen minutes away.
But there are items lost and letters passed without identification. One resident was PostNL all mail from the whole neighborhood with it, another might not even take the post of his girlfriend. The residents are desperate. Thirteen of them have filed a lawsuit against the postal service.
Only solution
PostNL wants the residents organize a general mailboxes point on a small wall near the stairs to the houses increasing. It would be the only solution. Resident and former major league footballer Berry Powel fed. ,, It feels like David and Goliath. On that wall not even fit 34 mailboxes. When we bought the house in 2007, there was nothing to worry about. Now they have banned postmen to deliver the item to us. We just want the post to neatly house get worried. ''
From November 14, all mail returned to sender sent and received by the residents no mail at all. Neighbor Jamie Witteman is very worried. ,, I have my own business, I have my post really needed. We have solved the problem with the slippery platforms. That cost us around 4000 euros. And suddenly we received a letter that our mailboxes are not on the public road boundaries. It is too ridiculous for words '' Powell:. ,, If the judge rules against us, we can not be reached by mail. That can not be like that? ''
Postal Act
PostNL spokeswoman Hanne Kluck confirms that PostNL not deliver on Griendweg 4 to 70. ,, The mailboxes are not close enough to the road. Up to 10 meters may be, that is in the Postal Act. In addition, the homes are on private property. We have done everything possible to resolve the matter. It is very unfortunate that we have not fulfilled it. There is no other solution than a general mailboxes point. ''
