TREDEGAR'S gold post box will remain that colour, it was announced.
The post box was one of seven in Wales painted the colour of medals gained by our top-performing athletes, with Blaenau Gwent's in recognition of Paralympics hero Mark Colbourne.
Mr Colbourne said: "It was my pleasure to win Gold at the London 2012 Paralympics, not only for my country, but it also meant I could give something back to my family and friends in my home town, who helped me get over my near-fatal accident in 2009."
