COUNCILLOR Jim MacLeod has welcomed the fact that the postbox in Port Glasgow's Fore Street is back in use.

It had recently been closed off without explanation.

Mr MacLeod said: "Council officials said they couldn't tell me why it was closed off or if this would be permanent, as they had not been told by the Post Office themselves.

"There should be better communication by the Post Office when they are doing the likes of this - and the same goes for the issue of the sub-post office being closed for over a year."
