Royal Mail service changes
Background
The Economy and Fair Work Committee is running an inquiry into proposed Royal Mail service changes.
Members of the Committee want to know what businesses and communities think about the proposed service changes, and the impact of recent strikes. The Committee is particularly interested in hearing the views of rural communities.
The Committee has invited Royal Mail to give evidence before the end of June. The views of businesses and communities will inform that session, and the questions the Committee asks.
Your views
Key questions
- How important is the current six-day Royal Mail service for letters to your business and/or your community?
- Royal Mail has proposed changing the six-day service for letters to a five-day service. Delivery of letters on Saturdays would end. If this change is made, what impact would this have on your business or community?
- Are there any businesses, individuals or groups who would be particularly affected by this change?
- What was your experience of the service provided by the Royal Mail over the last year while the dispute with the CWU (Communication Workers Union) was ongoing?
- If you are a business, have you stopped using Royal Mail? Do you use Royal Mail in conjunction with other services? What are your reasons?
Share your views with the Committee
The call for views closes on 8 June 2023.
Please submit your responses as soon as possible to ensure they can be considered in advance of a meeting with Royal Mail which is planned for Wednesday 28 June.
