New Solar-Powered Post Boxes in Hampshire
Royal Mail has introduced new, futuristic post boxes in Hampshire as part of a major redesign.
The new post boxes are solar-powered, allowing customers to deposit small parcels using a barcode scanner and a drop-down drawer for larger parcels.
- The redesign includes solar panels at the top of the boxes to activate the parcel drawer.
- A barcode scanner opens a drop-down drawer to accommodate bigger parcels.
The introduction of the new post boxes is a response to growing competition and demand in the delivery sector, after Royal Mail was fined for not meeting delivery targets.
The new design is part of Royal Mail's effort to keep up with the changing needs of its customers.
A total of 3,500 new post boxes will be rolled out across the UK, with some already appearing in Swanmore, Hampshire.
