GALLIONS Housing Association hand- delivered its new tenants' handbook when it was discovered they were too heavy to be posted.

Instead 70 staff, including the association's directors, spent their weekend pounding the streets like newspaper boys and girls, pushing trolleys with bag loads of the handbooks, delivering them personally through every letterbox.

Over the two days they delivered more than 4,900 of the 5,000 handbookst Gallions owns and manages more than 5,000 homes.
