Business and Trade Committee publishes correspondence with Royal Mail, EP Group, CWU and Ofcom on Royal Mail’s performance

“This agreement between Royal Mail and the CWU is an important step forward after a long period of uncertainty and should help clear the way for the changes the service urgently needs.

“For too long, households and businesses have been left dealing with delays that even Royal Mail’s owner has described as unacceptable.

“Royal Mail is a vital public service with clear obligations. A year on from the takeover, those standards are still not being met. This agreement must now be the turning point.

“The task now is simple: put the new model into action, improve reliability, and rebuild trust with the public. We will be watching closely to ensure this deal delivers the better service that households deserve.”

So is that the final outcome no real comments on the outcome of their investigations?

If the PC thinks that reducing 2c mail deliveries to alternative days is now going to increase "reliability" then they must be deluded.

On today's news royal mail have announced no 2nd class mail on Saturdays from a further 240 delivery offices (presumably the next lot of ODM (sorry my bad DM26) trials with full rollout December, presumably they forgot to mention it also being cut to 5 days per fortnight.

It'll be 0 days per fortnight in December, based on the last three years. No amount of resourcing can keep this plan ticking along through Peak. Right now 1C is noticeably up (a whole 2%, I'm not even talking about the postal ballots) and it's already wrecking our ability to alternate the walks.
The machine stops.
