Every time it rains hard, our mail gets wet. The Harrowsmith hamlet community boxes, located in Centennial Park have no protection from the elements. There has been many wonderful improvements made to the park, but none to the boxes. Some continue to be overturned, personal garbage continues to be placed beside these beautiful boxes. Sometimes the smell is quite evident. There is quite a group of buzzing insects and stinging hornets that have claimed these structures as their own.
We need a smaller, matching, covered roof protection that would mirror the lovely covered bandstand. It would protect the boxes from the elements and prevent vandals from pushing over the south row of boxes. Please consider this suggestion if the boxes are to be permanently in the park. I am sure the mail deliverer would appreciate this little improvement, especially in the rainy spring, hot summer sun, and blustery winter snow. I would appreciate receiving dry mail!
