Eastbourne MP Josh Babarinde spoke in the House of Commons earlier this month, about prolonged delays in postal times in his constituency.

Mr Babarinde paid tribute to hardworking posties in Eastbourne, and pointed out that both they, and his constituents as a whole, were being let down by 'upstream problems' at the Royal Mail.

“Constituents like Michelle are not receiving letters for medical appointments until after they have happened. WIll the minister meet me to discuss these appalling delays and the urgent action that must be taken to make sure our residents get their post on time?”

The Minister (Justin Madders - the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State Department for Business and Trade), acknowledged the problems occurring at the Royal Mail and agreed to meet with the Eastbourne MP to discuss the situation further.

Mr Babarinde concluded by emphasising:

‘Urgent action must be taken to ensure Eastbourne folks get their post on time’.

Many Eastbourne residents have been experiencing severe delays in receiving post, which includes personal letters, NHS correspondence and in one constituent’s case, urgent legal documents.

Josh Babarinde MP said:

“Over the last year I’ve been consistently raising my concerns with the standard of deliveries by Royal Mail in Eastbourne. Senior leadership need to get their act together, because constituents are sick of disruption and delay.

I am pleased we’ve lobbied Royal Mail to recruit more postal workers and help those off sick back into work, and I look forward to meeting with a Minister to discuss Eastbourne’s postal problems. I’ll be keeping a close eye on my own letterbox to see whether Royal Mail’s promises translate into results. Urgent action must be taken to ensure Eastbourne folks get their post on time”

I’ll keep fighting for a consistent, dependable postal service for our town. Our hardworking posties, local residents, and Eastbourne as a whole, deserve better than this.”

Privatisation going well !

His party privatised the industry and sold it on the cheap. What he thinks or says is vacuous.
