Home mail delivery gets council support
Council here has supported a resolution calling on Canada Post to reconsider a plan to end residential home mail delivery.
Mayor Neil Driscoll suggested council consider supporting the resolution from the County of Huron, even though no areas of Mapleton have home delivery.
“This is just a letter of support from our council to say we appreciate the problems that your having,” said Driscoll at the Jan. 13 meeting.
The resolution states the lack of home delivery “will disadvantage many seniors and people with mobility problems and will be compounded during inclement weather.”
The motion also states the proposal would have “an adverse economic impact on our communities with regard to empoloyees, local postal services and the economy.”
