Stop the Royal Mail delivery of junk mail during Covid19

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Stop the delivery of non essential junk mail to households. These extra deliveries are putting our essential postal workers at greater risk and vulnerable people in the community too.
The postal service is extremely busy as more and more people are ordering items online during this time. Non essential junk mail is adding to this as it goes to every household. Many of the companies are not even opperating at this moment and our postal workers safety should be valued.
