Please investigate loss of post (From Northwich Guardian)

Please investigate loss of post

6:00pm Thursday 26th May 2011 in Your Letters

ALONG with other readers of the Guardian, I did not receive my postal vote documents, so I called in at my local polling station only to be told that nothing could be done, and I could not cast my vote.

Having read the article, Guardian, May 11, it started me wondering just how many people had been affected, and what has happened to the missing post?

The Royal Mail is legally bound to deliver letters to their destination even if they are late.

So how come my documents have not as yet landed on my doormat? Could it be that the bulging ‘postal vote’ mailbag, has rolled from a passing mail van and slipped over the edge of our local abyss into the depths of the still unstable mine workings of Northwich?

I feel an investigation should be carried out by Cheshire West and Chester Council (CWAC) as to the location of this missing mail, as a lot of decent people have had their right to vote taken away without a care.

I put it to CWAC that it investigates the loss of this important mail, produces the results and an apology from the guilty party in a future issue of the Guardian.
