MP Owen Paterson addresses postal issue
Friday 30th December 2011, 10:42AM GMT.
North Shropshire MP Owen Paterson has stepped in to help campaigners in Wem who want Shrewsbury removed from the town’s postal addresses.
Councillors claim people are having problems with post turning up at wrong addresses or going missing. Now they have received a boost with Mr Paterson confirming he had written to Royal Mail asking them to make the changes.
But Royal Mail today warned that it was unlikely any changes would be made.
