ROYAL MAIL WORKERS FACE LOYALIST THREATS
THE Royal Mail may suspend deliveries in a south Belfast suburb if loyalist threats continue to be made against Catholic delivery staff.
The Post Office has taken some staff out of Seymour Hill in Dunmurry.
For the past week Royal Mail delivery workers have been approached by people in the Seymour Hill area, and they have been advised that certain members should not be entering.
Michael Kennedy, the Royal Mail’s Area Manager, is taking the threats very seriously and he has admitted that it has not been the first time that an incident like this has happened in the area.
Mr Kennedy has met with representatives from the Communication Workers Union and is hoping to arrange meetings with political representatives. (CD)
