An Post embarks on campaign to promote roadside boxes

AN Post is embarking on a major campaign to convince 400,000 urban residents to accept roadside boxes instead of direct deliveries.

The Office of the Director of Communications Regulation (Com Reg) has ruled that An Post must fulfil its obligation to deliver directly to the doors of rural and urban dwellers.

But ComReg said An Post could also give residents the option of having roadside post boxes, but it could not compel them to take them.
