Census dates

Post by Indy »

Anybody know when the census material is due to go out? i.e. which week? will it be the same time frame for the whole country or will they do a rolling roll out?

Want to make sure I don't plan anything important when there going out as the only appointment I want is with my bed! :sad:
Cheers....

Branches and representatives will probably be aware that a Census will be carried out this year. This will involve the posting of circa 26 million items across the UK with items due to start moving to Mail Centres and on to Delivery Offices on the 2nd 3rd and 4th March.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Delivery of the items in England and Wales is due to commence from Monday the 7th March with the items targeted for delivery on the 7th, 8th and 9th to avoid the heaviest delivery days of the week. It should be noted that no items can be delivered before the 7th March. It is expected that 70% of all items will be available for delivery this week in England and Wales with the remaining 30% (plus the remote parts of Scotland) being available for delivery on the 14th, 15th and 16th March. N.Ireland will have its own arrangements with all items being delivered w/c 14th March which will account for about 750k – 800k of the items.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Scotland isn't delivering them as councils employ people to do it.

How did that happen? Were the hills and steps not taken into account when the duty was planned?

Funny enough our planner told us there were no hills in our area, he also reckoned there were no blocks of flats! perhaps your planner is moonlighting at our place. could they be the same people...ours is about 5"6, dark hair and incompetent..... :whistle
