What a mess

The problems with the Post Office seem to be getting worse.

I called in this morning as I have been waiting for some packages from Amazon for 2 weeks but no trace.

When I arrived there were a great number of people querying where their post was and it appears that about two weeks worth of mail has gone missing!

It appears that what happens to mail destined for La Alfoquia or Zurgena is that it is sorted at Huercal Overa and divided into mail to be delivered eg that which has an address on and mail to be collected from Zurgena P.O. eg addressed Lista de Correos. That which is to be delivered is given a van driving lady to deliver however she does not know the area!

There is a possibility that some may still be at the old Post Office in La Alfoquia but the Correos say that Ana Maria (the post lady at Zurgena) is not insured to drive to La Alfoquia.

To try and do something about this mess Ana Maria is going to spend some time between now and Saturday asking questions of other offices and getting La Alfoquia checked out. If she finds any post it will be available on Saturday morning at Zurgena P.O.

In relation to the future I am to speak with Candido at the other Town Hall staff in an effort to get street names and numbers progressed asap. 

Mike Foulkes and I have agreed to collate information on the problem for the benefit of the Correos and the Town Hall.

Watch this space but don't expect miracles.
