Post in Collection point for Royal Mail parcels

Jun 24 13:04 UTC

There seems to be a separate issue here about the efficiency (or lack
of it) at the parcel collection office at Sandy Lane.  This is
something that should be taken up with Royal Mail's Customer Services
department.  If people would like me to write a letter to Royal Mail
telling them of residents' concerns, I am more than happy to do so.  I
shall need to give evidence for these complaints, so it would be great
if folk could keep a log from now on of their dealings with Sandy Lane
and how well (or badly)these transactions have been handled.  This
would also give us a clearer indication of how much parcel traffic is
happening around Headington.

I honestly don't recall saying that it would be easy for people to go
to Sandy Lane. It's more a case of being equally difficult for people
to get to!   It is not well served by local buses and there is
virtually no visitors' parking so it is not in a very accessible
location.

If there is lots of concern about this issue, I wonder if we ought to
invite a representative from Royal Mail to come and speak at a public
meeting?  It would also be useful to ask the manager of the Headington
post office for comments on how feasible this suggestion might be.
