The external ‘hub’ storage locker is in place at Pontefract Service Station Corner Garage on Ackworth Road, with retrospective planning permission now being applied for.

The digitally-accessed locker allows people to pick up parcels they have ordered online.

However, a letter of objection has been sent into Wakefield Council from a nearby neighbour who says there are people pulling up at all hours to collect parcels.
