AN MP is urging residents to send incorrectly addressed junk mail with the name Humberside on back to where they came from.
Location: 2761 Rockledge Trl,
Beavercreek, OH, 45430
Phone: 800-419-0211
It is part of a campaign to banish Humberside from computer postal systems across the country.
MP for Beverley and Holderness Graham Stuart says he is striking back at the continued use of the outdated name.
He is inviting residents to use pre-printed stickers to return unwanted mail that has been sent to Humberside or North Humberside.

"A sense of place is important to people in East Yorkshire and it's time that Royal Mail recognises that," he said.
"Residents, community leaders and MPs have repeatedly requested the removal of North Humberside from the Royal Mail databases but they have stubbornly and unreasonably refused. Enough is enough.
"It is time to send these incorrectly addressed letters back where they came from. I'm asking Beverley and Holderness residents to stick it to the Royal Mail and join my campaign by sending back wrongly addressed junk mail."
The sticker says: "I don't live in Humberside! It's East Yorkshire! Tell Royal Mail to stop using Humberside! Return to sender."
Sticker sheets are available from the MP by emailing graham@ grahamstuart. Related articles:
None of the costs of the campaign will be met from taxpayer funds.
Mr Stuart, who also launched the Humberside Must Go campaign in 2008, said: "The run-up to Christmas is the ideal time to run this campaign as there are endless amounts of advertising mail heading through our letter boxes and a constitu ency-wide blitz on wrongly addressed mail will send a clear message from Beverley and Holderness that we want Royal Mail to mend its ways."
Royal Mail spokesman Felicity MacFarlane said it has offered to meet Mr Stuart to discuss the issue.
She said: "Postcode boundaries do not necessarily reflect geographical or administrative boundaries.
"A postal address, including a postcode, is designed to ensure the accurate sorting, routing and delivery of our customers' mail.
"Royal Mail offers a commercial product, the Postal Address File (PAF), which provides information on postal addresses across the UK.
"The information provided by Royal Mail on this file includes the traditional county, the administrative county and the geographical county names, which businesses have asked us to keep on the PAF file for their own purposes.
"As we have stressed for a number of years that the county information is not required for postal purposes and the database has not been amended during this time, we do encourage external organisations not to use or rely on the county information.
"If customers receive mail they feel is not correctly addressed, this needs to be taken up with the sender directly."
