Been out on the van today to the Framwellgate Moor stop to discover the batteries that power the Post Office equipment inside the van have failed to charge.
I have now investigated this and there appears to be damage to the charging cable. Luckily it's something I can repair but it's going to take time to charge the batteries before we can get out on the road so we're not going to get back out today, sorry!!
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday next week I will be over at another branch providing covering for annual leave but there is method to the madness on this one - I'm covering for one of my wonderful employees that is excited to drive the van and come out and see you all and those 3 days will be the start of his training that he needs before he can do this will bring much needed reliability to the staffing levels of the van for the future 👍👍👍
