Postal deliveries to change in response to trends in mailing

THE Royal Mail is planning a shake-up in the way the post is delivered to homes across the Totnes and Buckfastleigh areas.

It will mean changes in delivery times, with some people getting their mail earlier and some later than current delivery times.

Posties will work in pairs with new trolleys to carry larger parcels.

It follows similar changes which are already being introduced in the Torbay area.

The changes will affect the TQ9, TQ10 and TQ11 postcodes areas which are the Totnes, South Brent, Rattery, Harbertonford and Buckfastleigh areas.

The changes come after new equipment was introduced at sorting depots as well as equipment designed to help postmen and women reduce the risk of injury from carrying heavier mail bags.

Fewer letters are being posted, but more large items are being delivered, and Royal Mail says it is investing in new equipment to carry these items more securely.

Many staff will work in pairs from vehicles using lightweight trolleys reducing the need for them to carry the items themselves. They will take out all the mail for that day. Follow-up deliveries by van will no longer be carried out.

The time customers receive mail will depend on where they live on the new delivery route. This may be different to current delivery times.

Royal Mail's Collections and Delivery Sector Manager, Chris Salt said: "We are proud of the high regard in which our postmen and women are held in Totnes. The changes to delivery routes will mean that a member of our local and experienced team will still be delivering to our customers in the area."

"The local delivery team and I are fully committed to providing a high quality of service that is as reliable and friendly as customers have come to expect from Royal Mail in Totnes over many years."
