Shite you will become a Deedar.........Blunt or Pig ?
Joking aside Doncaster wants city status and we're going to lose our PO sorting office, it's crazy!  :angry:

Does that mean if you have a parcel that they haven't been able to deliver, you're going to have to go all the way over to Sheffield to fetch it then?

[MrFrost]

Looks that way.

Will we still have a DN post code?

And not before time.
The whole setup for the deivery of mail/parcels in this country is archaic.
I can remember when I was in business and took some rather large packages (not heavy) to the local post office and they didn't have the scales to weigh them. I was told to take them to the local butchers shop and pop them on their scales !.
I could come up with dozens of ways of implementing efficiency changes but inevitably they would get shot down by the 'keep things as they are' brigade. !
Rant over !

It's the main sorting office that is set to close,the delivery part of the job will still function,maybe from a differant building.You will pick your parcels up from there so no you wont have to go to Sheffiled  B)

More unemployment for Doncaster. Not good.
