ROYAL FAIL: POSTIE’S CAT FACES EVICTION DUE TO HEALTH & SAFETY RULES

The Royal Mail moggy, who is now facing eviction from the premises – MEET the Royal Mail moggy facing eviction from the sorting room by an ‘elf n’ safety diktat. The much-loved moggy - who was adopted by posties after he wandered into their postroom - is facing a workplace ban after managers ruled he was a health and safety RISK. The black cat has visited Stratford-upon-Avon’s sorting office in Warwickshire every day for the last five years and put a smile on the faces of all the staff - just like Postman Pat and his companion cat Jess. The cat lovers have fed him and cared for him since then and say the tom has become part of the team. But now the 100 postal workers face losing their beloved pet after a new manager told the workforce the moggy must go in a move that has been deemed health and safety gone mad.
