Couple fed up missing post because house number is "missing from street"

A couple can't order takeaways, always miss deliveries and have even had tradesman do work on the WRONG house because their 'flat doesn't exist'. Lynn and John Bellamy live at number 20 - but when you walk along Kimpton Road there is no flat between 19 and 21. Instead the street numbers are 19 then 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25. Instead their home at number 20 is 100m walk away, around the corner on Harvey Road, in Camberwell, south London. It means postman are always confused and ambulances can't find the address for the flats which were built approximately in 1995. Lynn, a nurse, says she has contacted her local post office and even their MP to try and sort the situation by getting the council to put a map at the end of the road to guide people where to go. But since moving into the flat In June 2022 they are still no closer to answers. Within weeks of moving into the flats, the couple noticed things were missing. John has myeloma cancer and is going through chemotherapy, so any missed appointment letters could be life threatening, he says. Lynn and Paul, retired tradesman , have to walk down their street onto the main road to wave down friends, family, Amazon deliveries, food deliveries, taxis and even ambulances.
