Our COM said it's already best efforts and he's been told just to go round the frames on Wednesday and send everything left in or under the frames straight in the sensitive waste bags as the bigger sin is delivering on the Thursday rather than not delivering it at all
There's bound to be election stuff being held by the DTS system. I'm wondering if RM will turn the DTS off nationally for either Monday night (for Tuesday delivery), Tuesday night (for Wednesday delivery) or Wednesday night (for Thursday delivery).

Don't know if it's the same around the country, going by my emails we've got the Electoral Register annual letters due through anytime now as well
Of course if a postal ballot or the like comes in on Thursday we have to deliver it, but Is it permitted to deliver candidate mail
on the day of the election?

Once the polling stations are open, no, you cannot deliver political leaflets (unless somehow you're on the street before 7AM). Conversely, once they're closed you can deliver all that stuff that failed. Sorry, that's a negativist attitude - I'm sure we'll clear by Wednesday. :speak to the hand
The machine stops.
