SERVICE CUT: residents with individual post boxes are urged to get multi-mail boxes when delivery service in cut in September.
THE postal service is “going to be seriously threatened as from September in Orihuela Costa.” That’s according to the CLARO party.
Their warning comes as hundreds of residents have received a postal communication notifying them that from September 1, Correos will stop delivering to each individual dwellings as is currently done. It urges residents to use communal mailboxes or collect post from the Playa Flamenca Correos office.
Detached properties in Campoamor, La Zenia, Cabo Roig and La Regia, will mostly be affected. Notifications were also posted on the town hall notice board.
It is understood that the decision has come about because Orihuela Costa is divided into urbanisations where there are many individual houses. These urbanisations do not meet the density requirements to justify home deliveries.
Bob Houliston from CLARO said: “If instead, Orihuela Costa had been considered as a continuous urban entity – which, of course it is for levying taxes and supposedly providing municipal services – with the inclusion of heavily populated areas like Playa Flamenca and La Florida, the density of the population would certainly have met the requirements for continuing individual home deliveries.”
CLARO denounces the move, which will affect thousands, and says it will work to reverse the decision.
