THE Royal Mail has defended its decision to move a number of postmen and women from their routes.

Routes they have served for years and become, as many residents described, essential members of their community.

Last week, YH published a letter from an Upper Park resident. A resident in Churchgate Street has also been in contact.

A Royal Mail spokesperson said: “Over the last 10 years, the number of addresses we deliver to has grown by more than 2 million and many postmen and women’s routes have not been revised in this time.

“This can mean that some routes can be an hour or two longer than others, for example where new housing developments have been built.

Jointly with our trade unions, we have revised routes throughout the country to ensure they are fairer and reflect the growth in addresses and parcel deliveries.

We have recently undertaken such a revision in the areas that include Upper Park and Churchgate Street in Harlow.

“This will have no impact on the quality of service received by our customers in the local area.”

Lying b- - -s. Postman’s work load has increased so hey we’re getting rid of some and giving the remaining ones even more work

Working with the union! Really! They said there has been 2 million new builds but they keep telling us we are not working hard enough. More crap from management

Two lies in that statement from the RM spokesperson.

Absolutely. Bare faced lies as well.
Shameless.

Just throwing numbers about lol, like 'an hour or two'.
If, and it's a huge if, there are duties in the same office with 2 hours difference then who is to blame for that?

[DirtyHarry]

Surely, this brazen lying to the public has to be picked up on?

Royal Mail most probably think they’ve been on the walk to long & made to many friends, bit to much chitchat going on, time to speed up 🕰

That select committee must have an inbox stuff of lies and deceit to pick from

If only our great leader had been called back to face a Parliament Select Committee in 2 weeks time.

Mind you, he'll probably come out with more BS, and be called back a THIRD time!
