5,000 new bikes for the Royal Mail
THE Royal Mail has saddled itself with a bill for pounds 3m by buying 5,000 new bikes for postmen and women.
The British-built Pashley Mailstar models will replace older bikes in the postal organisation’s 33,000-strong fleet.
The Communication Workers Union welcomed the move and claimed it had persuaded the company to end an “embargo” on replacing bikes.
