InPost and Salford City Council agree smart parcel lockers tie up
E-commerce delivery venture, InPost, has announced a partnership with Salford City Council.
This will see a roll-out of 40 new lockers across Salford, with the aim of installing 65 lockers in the local area by September.
The network will provide people with a way to collect and return online shopping and to send parcels, and will be situated in community hotspots within Salford City Council’s property portfolio, with locations including libraries, leisure centres, car parks and community centres.
Jason Tavaria, CEO at InPost UK, says: “This partnership marks another important milestone in our roll-out of lockers across the country, and we are very proud to be working with a leading north west local authority.”
“The lockers will help to support the council’s sustainability targets by reducing last mile deliveries in and around Salford, as well as make parcel delivery and returns more convenient and accessible for all of the borough’s population.”
Salford City Mayor, Paul Dennett says: “The council has buildings in the heart of our communities so when people are visiting places such as their local library or leisure centre they can also collect or return their parcels.”
“The service will be invaluable to our residents while also helping to reduce journeys and emissions. I would like to say ‘thank you’ to all involved for bringing this important service to this great city.”
