I've been complaining on Twitter and email directly to complaints website of Royal Mail, earlier this autumn and again this week. Has anyone any suggestions for making a collective stand to try to force RM to at least provide us with a twice weekly service by moving staff from places where they currently provide a six-day-a-week service (if they can't recruit more people locally)? Suggestions: * Ask the local sorting office to let us collect our post from there if they won't deliver to us directly (this system works fine in at least some other European countries). * Get a petition going, should be able to gather hundreds of signatures, to raise pressure, but I don't know who to send it to. * Organise a demo outside the sorting office one day and try to get local press involved. However local press have already covered this and there was something again recently on the BBC local news (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-63780196). * Helen Hayes clearly knows about the problem but I don't know if she is actually able to do much about it. * Has anyone tried contacting their local councillors? Any other ideas? Susannah

Now all the stamps have barcodes could a Labour government insist that we can claim the cost of the stamps if post isn't delivered within say two days (1st class) and three days (2nd class)? And if the Peckham sorting office can't deliver to us then let us go to the sorting office and find our post? In Friern Road we have been getting one delivery a week (by a non-local postie) recently, and that doesn't bring the post that should be delivered then. Of six 1st class posted letters to me only one arrived the day after posting, and two more than a week later. How can Royal Mail justify the huge cost of stamps when their service is so execrable.
