After no receiving any post for almost 3 weeks I spoke to a postie why.  His reply was we do not have enough postmen out of High Shaw Road sorting office.

Its very inconvenient

As my bank has sent debit cards which have not arrived and now have been cancelled.  It appears that any 2nd class post could be sitting in a large pile somewhere.

Thought I would pass this on.

My MP was helpful when we were forgotten about in the Gardens/ Kelmore grove for weeks on end. That was a few months back. After the service getting back to regular deliveries for a month or two it has now gone backwards again. Our postman said that our round is being adversely affected again due to a shortage of staff.. They deliver parcels daily but not letters. Time to have another email with my MP I think.

Same here - no post, no Private Eye, no bank cards. Went to the sorting office yesterday and left a letter for the manager. I've also Just written to Ellie Reeves MP - the more of us write, the better.

Ellie Reeves was very helpful the last time we were left without deliveries. She actually visited Highshore Road sorting office and took them to task after myself and other residents contacted her office.

Royal Mail website shows the Highshore Road office only open 8 to 10 most days. Is that right? I don't want to make a wasted journey. 

There is a phone number that you can call if you need more Info. I'm fairly sure that I've been served later than 10 am but that was over a year ago.

We receive (should receive) 20-30 items of post a week, some subscription magazines, catalogues and (about a third) normal business mail (personal mail is far less frequent, save over Christmas and birthdays).  This tends to arrive in only two (more frequently one) delivery. Magazines are invariably late, often up to a week late. Not good for political weeklies. This has been my 'steady state' position following much worse frequency on the closure of the real ED Delivery Office, and of course Covid.

There seems little point in complaining any longer - to anyone. There will be a sudden flurry of mail delivered, of course, in the few days after an MP intervention, and then it falls back into rubbish deliveries.

It is a combination of senior management focus on high(er) value parcel and special delivery items (which I do get more regularly) which is a management decision, under-employment (vacancies) of posties and, I believe, extremely poor local management of what resources  Royal Mail actually has in Peckham.

I don't now believe it is curable. I do believe that no one in Royal Mail management gives a sh*t!

Just had a huge dump of overdue mail today; a birthday card sent on 11 March (that birthday is now long gone!), a missing SIM card, which had to be ordered again, overdue PCN correspondence from Southwark, meaning fines have been missed without me knowing (again!). This is a problem which stems back to the closure of the E.Dulwich sorting office over 5 years ago, although Royal Mail keep saying that they've now got it in hand. Rubbish! Local MP Ellie Reeves knows about it. Go ahead and email her please, as I've been doing! ([email protected]) I'm heartily sick of the problem; it has tangible consequences for people when the mail is so unreliable!

    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....
