AN MP is urging residents to “stick it” to the Royal Mail by returning all correspondence marked with the word Humberside as a postal address.

Beverley and Holderness Conservative MP Graham Stuart, who has long campaigned on the issue, said: “A sense of place is important to people in East Yorkshire and it’s time that Royal Mail recognised that.

“Residents, community leaders and MPs have repeatedly requested the removal of North Humberside from the Royal Mail database but they have stubbornly and unreasonably refused. Enough is enough.”

The Royal Mail offered to meet Mr Stuart to discuss the matter.

Spokeswoman Felicity MacFarlane added: “Postcode boundaries do not necessarily reflect geographical or administrative boundaries.

“A postal address, including a postcode, is designed to ensure the accurate sorting, routing and delivery of our customers’ mail.”

- as if that's all he's concerned about, could only be a Conservative MP
At least Humberside MPs John Prescott and Alan Johnson did and do something more useful with their lives in politics.
