Royal Mail is making some changes to the way it delivers mail in Grantham, covering NG31 postcodes, over the next few weeks.

Postmen and women will use new delivery methods and adopt revised delivery routes as these changes are introduced on a phased basis. Royal mail is writing to every address in Grantham about these changes and this includes households, businesses and other organisations.

A Royal Mail spokesman said: “We need to modernise the way we operate. We are therefore making changes in Grantham to maintain our services and to keep our prices as low as possible.

“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 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.

“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, we may need to adjust delivery arrangements and times.

“These changes will require a period of adjustment for staff. However, Royal Mail will be doing everything possible to maintain a high level of service and thanks customers for their understanding. It is anticipated that the changes will take about 4 weeks to implement.”

Royal Mail’s Delivery Service Manager, John Cuomo said: “We are proud of the high regard in which our postmen and women are held in Grantham. The changes to delivery routes will mean that a member of our local and experienced team will still be delivering to our customers in Grantham.

“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 Grantham over many years.”

If customers have any queries after they have received a letter, they can call the Customer Services Team on 0845 601 1399. Deaf and hard of hearing customers can use Textphone: 0845 600 0606.

These DSMs are very committed it seems.

Think you did a typo. Though, quite how you managed to misspell 'should be', I don't know.

"This may be later or possibly earlier than current delivery times"

I love these quotes, nicely worded.

Method what they have a method????. I thought it was all just thrown together. As for DSMs being committed they should be and to the right institution.
