This particular round of changes may not be national. This has been done in the past in outer London: minor TW9 and TW10 (Richmond) postboxes have had new signs fitted, but HA5 (Pinner) retains stickers from some years back. Boxes by parades of shops typically
keep the extra collections.</div>

<b>Subject:</b> [Talk-GB] Royal Mail collection times changing - 20 February 2023</font>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div class="BodyFragment"><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">
<div class="PlainText">One of my local postboxes, in north Birmingham, has a sticker on the<br>
collection plate, reading:<br>
<br>
"Change to last collection time<br>
<br>
"In order to improve efficiency we're reviewing our mail collection<br>
arrangements and revising collection times.<br>
<br>
"From 20 February 2023, the final collection from this postbox will be<br>
made no earlier than 9am Monday to Friday and 7am on Saturday. The<br>
latest collection time for this area is shown on the postbox notice.<br>
<br>
"For more information please visit <a href="http://www.royalmail.c">www.royalmail.c</a> [obscured]<br>
contact our Customer Service Team on 03456 011399. "<br>
<br>
The current collection is 5:15pm, 11:30am on Saturdays, so it's a<br>
significant change.<br>
<br>
A photo of the sticker may be seen on Twitter (no sign-in required), at:<br>

<br>
It's not clear whether this is a local change, regional, or national.<br>
<br>
Do other postboxes around the UK have them, do any not, and do any<br>
have different times? Or implementation dates?<br>
<br>
If it's a national change I'll ask for Street Complete to prompt for a<br>
re-survey on all boxes.<br>
