STIRLINGSHIRE residents are set to be affected by postal changes made by Royal Mail starting from this week.

Postcodes in the areas FK7, FK8 and FK9 will see differences in the way their mail is delievered, including later or earlier deliery times as part of a new pilot by Royal Mail.

A spokesperson from Royal Mail said: "The way in which we communicate with each other has changed dramatically. Unfortunately, fewer letters are now posted every day and Royal Mail needs to organise its delivery routes to be as efficient as possible.

"We also deliver more larger items and so we are investing in new equipment to carry these items to customers even more securely.

The new equipment also reduces the risk of injury to our postmen and women from carrying heavier mail bags."

What this means for the FK7, FK8 and FK9 Postcode Areas

- Royal Mail will continue to deliver in the morning and for a longer period during the day. Many customers will continue to get their mail by lunchtime.

- The time customers receive mail will depend on where they live on the new delivery route. This may be later or possibly earlier than current delivery times.

- When mail volumes vary, adjustments may be made to delivery arrangements and times.

If customers have any queries after they have received a letter, they can call the Customer Services Team on 0845 601 1399. A copy of the letter being sent to our customers is attached.

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

"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 Stirling over many years."

Mr.Alex J Morrison says "we are proud of the high regard in which
our postmen and women are held in Stirling" well Mr Morrison
get ready for a lot that "high regard" to disappear when the
customers start getting later deliveries and p739 cards in
the door due to lack of customer consideration that is rife
nowadays in RM.I'll give it 4-6 weeks before you hear the
howls of discontent.....not that it matters much these days
