Rejected petition Introduction of National Letter Box Standards
Our posties lack the protections they need to carry out their duties unimpeded. We are calling for the introduction of national letter box standards. Dog owners must have either a letter cage affixed to the reverse of their door, or an external post box to ensure the safety of all delivery workers.
More details
From a political cross party perspective how many campaigners have been bitten whilst posting letters/campaign materials? I know of three from the most recent local election alone.
We the undersigned would also like to see a uniform approach taken to any new developments in the UK – ensuring that letterboxes are approximately midway and horizontal on the door, creating an easier route for postal workers, deliverers, and campaigners alike.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament. The UK Parliament and Government are not responsible for the size of letter boxes.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
