Another example of health and safety bureaucracy

Royal Mail, which recently stopped deliveries to a village called Booze, North Yorkshire, due to health and safety concerns, has announced it will restore the service after Booze council agreed to carry out road improvements so postal workers could avoid back injuries, much to the joy of its residents.

Royal Mail had abandoned deliveries there after concerns over the state of the country lane, which health and safety inspectors said posed an "unacceptable" risk.

Yet another unsavoury story ... Isn't it time to stop condemning the profession and let us get on with the job of saving lives? Have a rant in our forums.
