Highland Council seeks improvements to Royal Mail delivery service
What happened
Highland Council has made a bid to improve the reliability of Royal Mail's postal service in the Highland Council area. A motion signed by nine councillors calls for the council's chief executive and political leaders to write to the chief executive of Royal Mail. The motion states that infrequent delivery could lead to serious consequences, including late correspondence from banks and solicitors, and missed medical appointments.
Why it matters
The council's action highlights concerns regarding the operational reliability of Royal Mail in the Highlands. This places pressure on Royal Mail, which is owned by IDS and EP Group, to address service standards and delivery consistency in the region.
