AN 89-year-old’s mission to finally have a post box installed on a Cudworth road has paid off.
Wilfred Skelton, of Darfield Road, Cudworth, has campaigned for months for something that he says is ‘vital’ for many elderly people in his local area.
A study was carried out by the Royal Mail in November and December to gauge whether or not a post box was necessary before one was fitted last week.
Wilfred said: “I’m 89 and there are many people of a similar age around the Darfield Road area - we simply couldn’t post our letters. The closest post box was a £1.70 bus journey away.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
