Burnham-On-Sea resident's anger over 21 misdelivered letters

A Burnham-On-Sea resident has called on Royal Mail to smarten up its act after receiving 21 letters that were meant for other people on Saturday (March 22nd).

Liz Monday of Axbridge Close told Burnham-On-Sea.com the heap of misdelivered mail (pictured) was pushed through her letterbox by a postman on Saturday morning.

She contacted Royal Mail by telephone after not receiving any of her own post, and was asked her to put the wrongly-delivered mail back in a post box.

Liz did this and wrote to each of the other residents in Burnham, saying: "I have reported this problem to Royal Mail and they have told me to just put the post back in a letter box. This is not good enough for me and I want you to know what is happening."

"In the days of having to be as careful as possible with personal information due to identity theft I feel that this is not good enough."

"Please just be grateful that your post was delivered to an honest person. I dearly hope ours is."
