Reaching every resident, not just the ones online
Some council messages have to reach everyone: a change to bin days, a new parking scheme, a consultation on a local plan, a public health campaign. Email lists and social media only reach the residents who have signed up or follow you, and a share of older and digitally excluded residents will miss them altogether.
A leaflet through every letterbox is still the most reliable way to make sure each household gets the message. It lands at home, it can be kept on the side until it is needed, and it does not depend on anyone having an account, a smartphone or the internet.

Matched to your boundary
Council boundaries rarely follow postcode sectors neatly. Some sectors sit across two boroughs, and a ward can split a street. We map your boundary against postcode sectors before anything is booked, so you can see which sectors are wholly inside, which are split, and how many households fall on each side.
Fully contained areas can go through Royal Mail Door to Door, which reaches every address including flats. Where a sector is split, our GPS tracked teams can deliver street by street up to the boundary line, so residents outside your area are not included. Some council campaigns use both.

Council leaflet distribution FAQs
Can you deliver to every household in our borough?
Yes. Royal Mail Door to Door reaches every residential address in the sectors you choose, including flats and secure blocks, and our GPS tracked teams can cover streets up to your boundary where sectors are split.
How do you handle postcode sectors split by our boundary?
We map your boundary against postcode sectors first. Sectors fully inside go by Royal Mail; split sectors can be delivered street by street by our teams so only your residents receive the leaflet.
Do you need any resident data?
No. Door drops are unaddressed and planned at postcode level, so no personal data is shared or needed.
Can you deliver leaflets in other languages?
Yes. We deliver translated or multi language leaflets in exactly the same way, and can target specific areas if a translated version is only needed in part of the borough.
Can you print the leaflets too?
Yes. We can arrange print and delivery together, or deliver leaflets printed by your own supplier. See leaflet printing.
How far ahead should we book?
Allow around three weeks for Royal Mail Door to Door. Team deliveries can often be arranged sooner, which helps with urgent service changes.
