I AM writing to bring your attention to the disgraceful state of the pavements in Marlborough on some mornings. I walk up the High Street each morning and I often have letters to post.

Some mornings it is almost impossible to post letters into the box as it is surrounded by shop boards and rubbish. I am lucky enough to be agile enough to lean over this mess and post letters but what about some of Marlborough's more elderly residents?

I do not know who is responsible for preventing making this mess or who is responsible for preventing it but could I suggest that someone should look at ways of making the High Street more attractive and the post box more accessible.
