SCITUATE – Town Councilor Theresa Yeaw said she felt she and her neighbors on the 141 to 201 stretch of Danielson Pike were “being extorted” by the U.S. Postal Service as the agency refused them home mail delivery service.
For years, residents along this stretch paid the North Scituate Post Office $80 per year to rent a post office box for mail service. This year, the price went to $103 for a box, Yeaw noted.
Yeaw, who lives within the zone on Danielson Pike, said she questioned the validity of the refusal, and was told there was nothing that could be done.
She said she began looking into home delivery service about a year and a half ago, long before she ran for Town Council.
