painter 15 postboxes between Dereham Road and Newmarket Road were turned gold. No one has claimed responsibility for the act, which will cost more than £1,000 for Royal Mail to put right, A spokesman said: "As far as we are concerned, this is an act of vandalism. We will now have to get the postboxes repainted. It will cost us money and take time to sort out."Sub-postmaster Malcolm Wright discovered his postbox’s shiny new paint job when he opened his post office on Vauxhall Street. He said: "It must have been done overnight. Nothing like this has happened round here before, but I know there were some painted blue in the city before. The painting follows a similar case earlier this year, when pedestrians on St Stephen’s Road found their postbox, traffic lights and crossing outside the old Norfolk and Norwich Hospital had been painted blue. |
