We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to follow the European Standard (EN 13724) regarding letterbox height. More details
Submitted by David Campbell of Royal Mail – Deadline to sign up by: 18 November 2009 – Signatures: 609
There's no legal requirement in the UK to follow the specifications set out in current European Standard (EN 13724) covering Private Letter Boxes which for ergonomic and safety reasons specifies the height, positioning and design of "letter boxes" in order that the safe delivery of Mail can be made without the risk of injury. The standard sets down that the centreline of the Letter Box aperture should be at a height between 700 mm (2 ft 3.5 inches) and 1700 mm (5 ft 7 inches). Postmen and Women need the support of the Government to protect the Health & Safety of Royal Mail employees.
