Approved at last

Royal Mail finally approved yesterday our election communications for Battersea and Islington North. They buggered us about by requesting a second change which they missed the first time. Their incompetance will mean that we will miss the deadline by which the Royal Mail centres guarantee delivery before election day. No doubt there will be delivered by then but there is no guarantee. The manifestos are being printed at the moment and will be delivered to the centres on Tuesday 30 May for distribution to households after that.

Election (mis)communication

We've had a problem getting approval for the election leaflets that Royal Mail will distribute to all households in the two consituencies. It's because the words "Election Communication" were too small (9pt instead of 10pt). This is being resolved but has delayed printing and so distribution. But they will be well before election day on 8 June, maybe even next week.

We're talking of 57,000 in Islington and 60,000 in Battersea.
