Rural mailboxes in Thamesford and other areas in the county are under review. According to Canada Post, notices have gone out to rural residents letting them know their mailboxes are being looked at for the safety of the delivery drivers. Canada Post Spokesman John Caines says those reviewing the boxes will be looking to make sure the delivery driver can get all four wheels onto the shoulder and will also be looking at the amount of traffic that passes by the box in a 15 minute period. "Once the assessment is done, if there is no issue they'll be fine, we'll let them know. If there is an issue we'll visit them face-to-face, tell them that their mailbox is unsafe. Hopefully we'll have a chance to move that on their property. 90% of all rural mailboxes that have been reviewed have been safe." Caines says if they can't move the unsafe box somewhere on your property, they have three options; cluster it with a neighbour, add a community mailbox or offer you a lock box at your local post office free of charge.
