With his face closed, Luc Mesme opens his mailbox. It is empty. “As is often the case,” he laments. We haven't had a delivery since last Friday. This has been going on since June. » With a sigh, he says that “it’s a source of stress when you’re waiting for important mail”. Like him, since this summer, many residents of this town of 2,700 inhabitants in the north of Seine-et-Marne have only received their mail once every five days, or even once a week. A situation that is starting to exasperate some. Contacted, the Post Office mentioned a restructuring problem in its Dammartin-en-Goële branch on which the town depends, which adds to a difficulty in recruiting the postman profession.
Closing his mailbox, Luc Mesme jokes “never having seen the postman” in his neighborhood on rue du Vivier. “The one before was great. He came by every day and since this summer they have changed postman. My son subscribes to the newspaper “L’Actu”. It’s a weekly that’s supposed to arrive every day. However, we only receive a package of several every five days. »
