The new mail delivery does not satisfy the inhabitants of Saint-Maurice-les-Brousses

It was not an April Fool’s Day! “ Since April 1, all municipalities in the Nexon postal sector have morning mail delivery except Saint-Maurice-les-Brousses », Regrets the mayor of the town, Georges Dargentolle.

“In our town, the mail is delivered between 1.30 pm and 4 pm, supposedly, but it is rather between 3:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. and by five factors for 1,100 inhabitants and 500 households. It’s crazy madness, you have to have done the ENA to have found such an organization, ”mocks the elected official.

Mail delivery […] always takes place 6 days a week, only the postman’s transit times are changed “.

The elected representative also regrets not having been contacted by La Poste services, “We could have found a more suitable solution, in particular thanks to the counter factor at the Saint-Maurice-les-Brousses post office and thus rediscover a little common sense by putting in place a negotiated organization, less comical and more adapted to the population ”.

A new organization which according to La Poste “has [pourtant] is subject to prior consultation with agents and staff representatives, as well as with local elected officials. »Not sure that everyone has the same definition of the word concertation …
