USE OF NORTH HUMBERSIDE BY THE POST OFFICE FOR WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE

That this House notes that the county of Humberside was abolished on 1st April 1996; further notes that it was replaced by four individual unitary authorities: Kingston-upon-Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire; further notes that almost 12 years on from that day, residents in the East Riding of Yorkshire continue to receive written correspondence marked North Humberside; further notes that this has caused a great deal of frustration amongst local people, who have great affection for the county of Yorkshire and who want to have their place of residence recognised; and calls on the Government to liaise with the Royal Mail Group to have this anomaly corrected at the earliest possible moment.
