Royal Mail experiment reveals ‘depressing’ performance of the region’s postal services

An exclusive investigation has found that Royal Mail is “letting down customers”, according to a north MP.

The comments came in response to our experiment, which saw people across the north of Scotland send a total of 177 First Class envelopes.

We recorded the posting date and when each letter was received at a series of addresses around the Highlands.

Jamie Stone, MP for Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross, said he was “shocked” by the results of the investigation.

He also argued that the “depressing” outcomes showed postal services in the region continue to fall short of expectations.

Ironic the MP is a Lib Dem who is shocked, what did he really expect would be the outcome when RM moved from being publicly funded to privately funded company only really interested in shareholders returns?
