Missing Post Box in Nicholls?

I now this is a little dull for The-RiotACT.

The usual red posting box has been removed from outside the Nicholls IGA, and replaced with a sign inviting me to sign a petition.

Does anyone know of street posting boxes being removed by auspost from other locations?

Is there a program to remove these boxes? or is Nicholls special?

Post box??

Oh… I thought it was a recycling bin…

That is really annoying as I use that one all the time too. I have never seen it vandalised so I doubt that was the reason. I suspect it was simply too close to the one at Ngunnawal and the one at Gold Creek Village. But I would have thought the one at Gold Creek was used less.

Not sure…I use the Nicholls post box regularly as I live round the corner. I signed the petition in the IGA – they said the community is meant to have advanced warning about the removal/relocation of boxes by Australia post, that’s why everyone was upset as they had no warning.
I never saw the box vandalised or damaged so I don’t know why they got rid of it.

There was something a little while ago about aus post removing the red post boxes where there was too much vandalism – must be rough out at Nicholls!
