Royal Mail delivery offices across the country are deciding each day which streets do not receive letters after restructuring. The revelations were heard by MPS in Parliament this week following concerns in service and redundancies.
Labour MP Barry Gardiner (Brent North) told the Commons: “Royal Mail delivery offices around the country are having to decide which street to rotate this morning not to get their letters.
“This is because there has been a wholesale restructuring going on in Royal Mail, which was by agreement for about 1,400 managers, in fact, but there’s now a further 900 delivery office managers who are being made redundant.
