I have no idea whether there is a 'law' as such but sub Delivery Office drivers around where I live are being asked from next week not to take their van home at the end of the shift and instead to bring it back to their respective Delivery Office's and leave in compound. This compound however is vandalised on a nightly basis so you can imagine what's going to happen to the Royal Mail vans in there no matter how few there are. When mentioned to the DOM he just shrugged his shoulders. Also, a chap on afters has been told 'off' for going home for his meal relief even though the next collection point he was due to start after his m/r he could actually 'see' from his house. Maybe this is a mass saving of supposed fuel.

taking vans home is usually down to operational needs as in no where to park them safely overnight or at xmas when we use extra vans,but they should only be used during duty hours plus travel to and from home with doms permission
