Given how short on staff many DOs are, I'd give it 2-3 days (a week tops) before the DOM abandons the idea of using porters and has them doing other stuff (IPS, preping walks, etc)

even with a portering system you still get people wandering around clearing 2 or 3 letters down at a time

Are you on drugs pal ?

Porters... and the portering of IPS ( manually sorted letters and flats) is SOP as far as I'm aware ! Best job in a DO early doors

Before a revision - "Portering will give you extra time to prep the bigger duties"
After revision - "Where are all these porters?"

They are needed in our office without them the ips frames would fill up and mail would get pushed out the back and onto the floor to be sorted again

All it takes is for all the posties to empty their pigeonholes, dump the letters on their frames, then return to continue IPS. No need for specific Porter duties. It's just common sense.
