Local MP asks for support of subpostmasters in campaign against continued use of ‘North Humberside’ by the Royal Mail

Local MP, Graham Stuart, has written to every Post Office in his constituency to ask for their support in his campaign to stop the use of ‘North Humberside’ by the Royal Mail for East Riding of Yorkshire addresses.

Graham has set up a website – http://www.timeforhumbersidetogo.blogspot.com/ – which contains an online petition and an address that people can use to complain to the Royal Mail. He has now sent copies of his petition to every Post Office in Beverley and Holderness, so that customers can make their feelings known. Once completed, he has asked that subpostmasters post the petitions back to him so that he can forward them on to the Royal Mail.

He said, “I’ve had a great response to the online petition and people have been signing the paper petition at my street surgeries on Saturday mornings. Now I want to give everybody the chance to get involved by displaying the petition at Post Offices across the constituency. I’d urge as many people as possible to show their support.”
