You can only officially opt out of delivering BNP material. Not sure about UKIP material though.

Wrong - BNP is the one that is most objected to, but if you feel your safety may be threatened or you have a moral objection to a particular leaflet/party then you can try to refuse to deliver ANY political leaflet. However, you have to have a very good reason and just not supporting their views is not a valid reason to qualify.

However, I feel its important to point out that if you don't deliver them Royal Mail still has a legal obligation to make sure they are, this may mean you being moved off your duty for a temporary period so that they can be delivered in your absence.

If you have a moral objection to a particular leaflet/party or a safety concern then you tell your manager - that's the official way. They then have to manage the delivery of those leaflets which may include moving you from your delivery for a temporary period while they are delivered,

Only last week we had a bulletin sent out from the area union head office stating we had the right to refuse delivering BNP material.
It made no mention of having a good solid reason for not wanting to deliver them.
So as far as I am concerned, I will be protected to the hilt for refusing to deliver them.

You will be, there was no argument from me about the BNP, I just wanted to clarify that the conscience clause is open to everyone and can be applied on any political party. However if you refused to deliver a Conservative or Labour one (you are entitled to) I just wanted to warn people that the reason for refusal has to be on a par with the traditional ones for the BNP.

I have heard of one postie refusing to delivery any leaflets except the one that he is a candidate for - that seems a pretty good reason as there would be a conflict of interests.

Maybe its just in my office but opting out was easy and two took it up. I am talking leaflets here and not poll cards. Their leaflets are going up on the board for anyone to sign for. There will be a rush for it believe me.

Ah, fair point.

Could anyone put up a link to the form for claiming payment for delivering poll cards and election leaflets ?
( Or are different claim forms produced locally all over the country ? )
