What the petition asks
I would like to see the UK Government amend building regulations & ban low letterboxes as has been the case in Ireland Since January 1st 2001
Letter boxes should be postman friendly..Low boxes can cause serious injury when you have quite a few in a row or on a round whilst carrying a sack of mail.
Even just one low letterbox is one too many.. You wouldn't put the keyhole down there so why put the letterbox down there.
