Royal Mail's junk mail misery


Royal Mail, the United Kingdom's mail service, one of the most trusted postal services company in the world has found itself in the middle of a junk mail row. Plans are underway to abolish the limit on the amount of junk mail that can be delivered to peoples homes, a move that could cause a deluge of unwanted mail.The Local Government Association (LGA) has issued a warning to the Royal Mail about its plans to remove the present strict limit of three mails per house per week. This step is bound to cause damage to the environment , cost council tax payers more and enrage private house owners ,Lord Sandy Bruce-Lockhart, Chairman of the LGA reasoned.Households in the UK already receive a considerable amount of unwanted post by way of flyer's, restaurant menus, credit card and bank flyer's and pamphlets of various services, most of which is never opened. Last year alone the Royal Mail delivered 3.3 millions such unaddressed mail, an increase of 12.5% from the previous year. This new move is bound to increase the already burgeoning amount of land fill.
