11\/05\/17 – They\u2019re back.<\/p>\n
Or, are they?<\/p>\n
Their roll-out frozen by Justin Trudeau when his Liberals swept to power two years ago, group mailboxes are starting to pop up again in some areas of London \u2014 worrying critics and postal workers alike.<\/p>\n
Relax, says Canada Post: It\u2019s only temporary, a short-term safety move and only on streets so riddled by construction that letter carriers can\u2019t make it through pylons and dug-up stuff to get to doorsteps.<\/p>\n
But door-to-door delivery advocates aren\u2019t buying it.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt seems like something sneaky might be going on,\u201d said Wendy Goldsmith, who heads the doorstep delivery group Londoners for Door-Door. \u201cI don\u2019t trust what Canada Post is saying.\u201d<\/p>\n
Goldsmith said she was surprised to hear of new community boxes sprouting across the city.<\/p>\n
London was in the midst of the installation of community boxes for another 42,000 households, part of a nationwide campaign driven by declining mail volume and higher costs, when the Trudeau Liberals put the brakes to the roll-out. Newer subdivisions have for years had the group delivery boxes.<\/p>\n
