Many residents of Fulking, Horn Lane and Oreham Common will have noticed that their copy of the July BN5 arrived yesterday, 10th July. This was thanks to a new scheme initiated by the Royal Mail sorting office in Rochester: they now send new periodicals off for ‘responsible recycling’ prior to delivery thus saving individual recipients the bother. In this instance, they sent 288 copies of the latest BN5 directly to the responsible knacker’s yard. When the BN5 team learned of this (from those of you who notified them), they managed to hastily assemble 200 out-of-area copies and the Henfield delivery office distributed these yesterday.

If you have a shed full of periodicals that you would like to have ‘responsibly recycled’, give the folks at Royal Mail in Rochester a buzz.
