What’s changing with Liverpool’s postboxes?

Available for over a year

They're an iconic sight on our streets - there's a hundred-and-fifteen-thousand of them in the UK, and some of them even have cute knitted hats! Of course we are talking about postboxes. But soon they could look a little different... Royal Mail are making the biggest change to their design since they were created a hundred and seventy five years ago! Well Royal Mail are introducing "postboxes of the future" which will be solar powered, be able to scan barcodes, and are much bigger so we'll able to drop our parcels in them. David Gold is the Director of External Affairs & Policy at Royal Mail talks to us.
