Glastonbury residents report weeks without post as Royal Mail defends delivery record

Fed-up households in Glastonbury say they've gone weeks without regular post — and warn delays are hitting important letters and medication deliveries.

Residents in the Windmill Hill area say mail is arriving in bulk, with some envelopes dated back to September. Several have raised concerns about the gaps between deliveries, claiming the service is now too unreliable to depend on.

Royal Mail has acknowledged recent issues but rejected suggestions of widespread failure.

A Royal Mail spokesperson said: "Post is being delivered to addresses on Windmill Hill Road at least every other day. Our posties are working hard to ensure that any delays caused by resourcing challenges are kept to a minimum. We are working to improve our service and will be recruiting for more posties shortly."

The company also suggested fewer letters being sent overall could be skewing public perception and may falsely give the impression of a larger issue with deliveries.

The COM at Glastonbury has already been investigated and found guilty of false reporting of failures after a postie at their old office used the speak up service.
The "punishment" was to move them to a new office and leave them free to do it all over again.

The Royal Mail ops hierarchy however are are hell-bent on their determination that these things couldn't possibly the the result of the incompetence of them and their peers. It must be the "lazy" posties or "ignorant" general public
