Royal Mail has issued a warning to households with dogs, urging them to display a sign or risk having their mail delivery suspended. The postal service says that the sign could make a huge difference in ensuring the safety of postal workers.
The move comes as part of Royal Mail's ongoing efforts to protect its staff from dog attacks. The company has reported that dog-related incidents remain a significant concern, with hundreds of postal workers being attacked each year.
Households that fail to display the sign may face a suspension of their mail delivery until the issue is resolved. Royal Mail emphasises that the sign is a simple yet effective way to alert posties to the presence of a dog on the property.
The sign is available for free from Royal Mail, and the company is encouraging all dog owners to request one. The initiative is part of a broader campaign to reduce the number of dog attacks on postal workers across the UK.
