Question 10622 — positions

Summary

Mr. Frédéric Weber draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty to the removal by La Poste of several yellow mailboxes in Meurthe-et-Moselle, particularly in his constituency. These cuts are part of a broader context of decline in local public services, the effects of which are increasingly being felt in the regions. The end of the red stamp, effective January 1, 2023, has already marked a significant reduction in postal service by restricting access to physical priority mail. Today, the removal of numerous mailboxes continues this logic of reducing essential daily services for citizens. In rural areas, where digital alternatives are not always accessible to everyone, particularly the elderly, the disappearance of these mail drop-off points constitutes an attack on the principle of proximity of the public postal service. It forces some residents to travel several kilometers to post a letter, further accentuating territorial inequalities. Furthermore, it appears that these deletions were decided without real consultation with the municipalities concerned, which is unacceptable. For all these reasons, he asks her what guarantees the Government can provide to stop this further reduction in local postal services and ensure the maintenance of a territorial network adapted to the needs of citizens. He would also like to know if the Government plans to impose compulsory consultation with local elected officials before any possible removal of mailboxes, in order to guarantee a local postal service to all French people.
