EIGHT out of 10 food delivery couriers in Scotland feel unsafe at work but carry on out of financial necessity, researchers have found.
The study, led by Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, surveyed 207 food delivery couriers working in Scottish cities.
More than 60 per cent reported experiencing racial or ethnic abuse and 55 per cent had suffered physical abuse, largely as a result of incidents while on the road.
