Regardless of the steps they are taking on redeliveries, I know that many older and less mobile residents have real worries about how they will manage if they miss a delivery and need to travel to the Edinburgh City Delivery Office to pick an item up.
My focus now is on supporting these residents to make use of the redelivery options mentioned in the above letter, so that they do not need to end up traveling to Murrayfield to pick up undelivered items.
And despite Royal Mail's assurances over staff retention, I know that the local CWU branch has had concerns over the pace of the closure. Please do show your support for your postie if you see them. It will be a time of disruption and uncertainty for many of our hardworking local postal workers, so I'm sure your support will be appreciated.
Thank you very much again for your support for the campaign. The support it has received from the community has been astounding. It's deeply disappointing it has not resulted in the desired outcome this time around.
If there are any further updates to share, I will be in touch.
Kind regards,
Ian Murray
