Royal Mail set to close Welwyn Garden City delivery office

PLANS to close the Royal Mail’s WGC delivery office and move postal services to Stevenage have been revealed.

Workers at the Bessemer Road site were told this week that they face being relocated, following a review of Royal Mail’s operations in the Home Counties.

The proposals, which the Welwyn Hatfield Times has seen, would see services at the Stevenage Mail Centre switch to Hemel Hempstead, allowing WGC and Hitchin delivery offices to move into the vacated site, and becoming a Mail Processing Unit (MPU).

It would mean both the WGC and Hitchin offices would close, along with offices in Berkhamstead and Kings Langley.

But staff at the WGC office fear it is the people of WGC and the surrounding area who will suffer, with postmen and women having to travel all the way to Stevenage to collect Welwyn Hatfield post, only to travel back again to deliver it.

One worker, who did not want to be named, told the Welwyn Hatfield Times: “We’re lucky enough to be keeping our jobs, but for Joe Public it means we will have to go back and forth from Stevenage to WGC.

“We’re one of the only public services left, but I don’t see how this is doing any service to the public.”

Sorry I'm know manager Just a mear humble postie, however I have made it my business over my many many many years to get stuck in and find out everything without relying on a local rep, as some are reasonably clueless eventhough they do do the job no one would even think of doing, so to all you local reps.
If I was you bitch sorry sadlersbitch I would contact your divisional rep, get the number through your local rep and just ask what you need to know.
for even assuming I'm a manager

We have contacted area rep div rep and bob gibson dave ward billy hayes
our rep is not clueless

as for assuming your a manager i know of a "manager"(in the loosest sence) who gets called wolfie so apologies if i assumed wrong

however applauding the closure of a delivery office is pretty sad maybe one day it will happen to you? the difference is i wont applaud

Well you have gotten further than I when contacting CWU Headquaters, as I've never got further than bobby gibson's office, so to get acknowledgement from wardy and hayes i applauld
If you was to read my text I did not accuse your rep of being clueless however I may of suggested that if you was not happy with there reasonable responce to your concerns then seek advice from Headquaters, which we have already covered.
I accept your apology and let that be the end of that, eventhough I see believe in "FREEDOM FOR TOOTING" \,,/
regarding the closure issue your rep will be well aware of the travel issue to and from stevenage to welling and therefore have extreme convidance that they are supportive in the matter that walks will comply with the RM2000 accountability of walk differencials which have a huge impact on delivery. So if the business wishes to close a delivery office then they must be aware of the conequences that follow
Peace

Do they get outer London weighting in Welwyn. If you go to Stevenage that's gone
