PLANS for postal workers to intercept and open Child Support Agency mail to cut the CSA workload have been slammed as "outrageous".

Local NACSA branch (anti-CSA group) organiser Diane Penkethman intends taking-up the matter with Leigh MP Lawrence Cunliffe.

She said:"I think it's outrageous . This system is operating in certain areas. I don't think it is right. There is a lot of confidential information contained in some correspondence."

Anyone with any CSA-related problems is invited to attend the group's next meeting which is being held from 7.30pm on Monday in a private room at The Victoria, Kirkhall Lane, Leigh.
