Royal Mail is asking us to pay more for a declining service, it needs sorting once and for all - Yorkshire Post Letters

From: Murray Edwards, Wakefield.
I was interested to read Jayne Dowle’s article entitled "Royal Mail is failing to deliver anyway” in the paper.

I have lived in Wakefield for the past 27 years and cannot remember a time when the postal delivery service is as bad as it has become over the past 6-9 months.

Specifically, I have a subscription to The Stage weekly newspaper which is published on a Thursday. Until towards the end of 2024 it would arrive the day after (Friday) or certainly by Saturday. However, now it rarely reaches us until at least a week after publication date and this week capped it all.

In the morning we received the two issues dated 3 and 10 July and this is the second time in the last two months when the same thing has happened.

What is going wrong? We are being asked to pay more and more for a service which is steadily going downhill. This needs to be sorted, once and for all!

Shoddy pay, understaffing, splitting shifts, dividing staff, over expectations, poor management. :thumbup

How can these tow comments be correct? "this week capped it all" & "this is the second time it's happened".

Just as OFWAT have overseen the decline of the water industry OFCOM have done similar with the postal industry.
