A mystery knitter has said she "would love a Christmas miracle" after plans were revealed to replace a postbox she decorates with a new solar-powered model. Syston Knitting Banxy has been creating detailed toppers, including Remembrance Day tributes and a piece for King Charles III's coronation, for a postbox in Syston, Leicestershire, since 2019. She said she was sad there would no longer be space for her knitted displays, but has vowed to carry on her creations elsewhere. Royal Mail announced plans to introduce 3,500 solar-powered postboxes across the UK in August. A spokesperson for Royal Mail said they appreciated the "passion and care" which went into the toppers, adding there would still be many unaltered postboxes. People in Syston spoke to Â鶹Éç Leicester reporter Matt Smith.
