This week the MP for Frome and East Somerset wrote to Ofcom to “demand answers” regarding issues with postal deliveries in Frome and the surrounding area.
Ms Sabine said she had already contacted the Royal Mail over the issue, and that she’d had no response from the Department of Business and Trade.
The MP said: “Since October, I have had contact with nearly 150 residents who are having serious issues with their postal deliveries.”
This comes in light of the recent fines issued to Royal Mail for failing to meet its obligations and the consultation that last week announced a lowering of targets for Universal Service Obligation and the cutting of second-class deliveries.
Ms Sabine added: “The solution for ensuring public service obligations are met is not to reduce expectations. The residents of Frome and East Somerset deserve better and it is time that someone from the Government or Ofcom started taking responsibility and addressed the situation in a serious way.”
As well as an inpouring of experiences of those using the Frome sorting office, Anna has also been made aware of situations in other areas of the constituency in Radstock and Midsomer Norton and intends to investigate these further.
