Roger nominated for an award

After discovering that Royal Mail is launching a First Class People award, the "Barry and District News" has started a campaign to encourage their readers to nominate local postman Mr Roger Annies who was in trouble earlier this year with his advice to customers on his round about how to opt out of Royal Mail's door-to-door service. The campaign has already received national attention.

Postwatch makes no comment on Mr Annies' action or on the local newspaper campaign, but we believe that customers should be able to make an informed choice about whether or not to receive unsolicited mail, whether addressed or unaddressed. You can find our advice here.
