Collection Point Volume Counts

Dear Colleagues,



Further to Bob’s email dated 17th August on the above, we have received a number of enquiries from representatives in the field.

We have exchanged further correspondence with Royal Mail and can now confirm the following.

* The volume counts are not a replacement for data gathering in the revisions process. This is still a necessary step and unaffected by this exercise.

* Despite what some managers are saying – these counts are not a regulatory requirement nor are they being carried out as a result of being instigated by Postcomm.

* Royal Mail has agreed that the data gathered will be shared with the CWU.


We are still in dialogue with Royal Mail with regard to verification of container fills.
