A FIREWORK was pushed into a post box setting dozens of letters alight.
Firefighters were called to Ashworth Lane, Astley Bridge, at 6.30pm yesterday. A Post Office spokesman said: "Setting fire to post boxes is a stupid thing to do. It can have a knock-on effect on many people's lives like bill payments don't arrive or when birthday cards are not sent."
