Brockley Road Post Box: going, going . . .

I have finally received a response to my e-mail to the Post Office, asking that they either re-open or remove the post box outside Crackerjack on Brockley Road. I didn't hold out much hope that they would re-open it, given their current post office closure programme, and indeed they're not going to. However they have promised to remove it within the next six weeks. So potentially a bit less street clutter on that stretch of Brockley Road, though a post box in use would have been preferable.
