Collection point for Royal Mail parcels

I think that we in Headington feel particularly hard-done-by as regards parcel
collection because:
(1) We used to have our own delivery office at the top of Lime Walk until just
a few years ago. We still mourn this facility that was taken away from us --
collecting parcels from there early the next morning used to be so convenient.
(2) One in three households in Headington has no car, and getting to Ledgers
Close without one is unviable: it would mean two long and expensive bus
journeys in each direction.
(3) Our local postmen already deposit their undelivered packages in Headington
Post Office at the end of their rounds. It seems ridiculous that they are then
taken such a long way away from us, causing so many unnecessary individual
journeys, usually by car.
We realize that we are lucky in Headington in that we still have a main post
office (as well as a branch of MailBoxes); and I reckon there are also four
branch post offices in the area (Underhill Circus, Westlands Drive, Wood Farm,
and Risinghurst). Marston is not so lucky.
