No update from ayr
I would imagine chaos when hot weather hits and staff have to take relief breaks on delivery

Spending an extra 30(?) mins in today's sunshine delivering double/triple mail must be totally unbearable, I'd love to see the heart meter readings from around 3 pm onwards this pm, as my outdoor thermometer which is in the direct sun has now gone off the scale, so it must be over 50c!!

We cant even recover with the aircon on in the van, as next day our wonderful leader asks us about idling

Nobody is asking you to work over. Stick to your finish time and deliver at your pace.

30 mins extra a day out on delivery will be my normal finishing time once ODM is introduced?

Aircon in our vans is driving with both windows open! Sit with the fan on and it just blows hot air in your face!

If your manager was an extreme bell end they could threaten to take you off driving for excessive idling but that would be so petty it's unbelievable considering the circumstances, one of ours challenged the manager in winter and said I'm not sitting here freezing having my break I'm leaving the engine running.
