Post in Further erosion of postal service

May 06 12:13 UTC

Now you're making my case for me Julia.  My point was that PO
Counters Ltd has nothing whatever to do with the EU directives on
competition in the transport and delivery of mail.

If it were freed up itself from its link with the transportation and
delivery department, Royal Mail, it could have been able to innovate
to replace business lost through government and government agency
changes to the way they operated and even to capitalize on the
potential new business from competitors to Royal Mail in the delivery
system.

If people think collecting undelivered mail from Littlemore is
inconvenient, you ought to try when it's ParcelForce or many of the
other courier firms who seem to have depots in the next county, or
Witney or somewhere.

I am sure those firms would have jumped at the chance to use a
network of postal offices where they could leave parcels for
collection and signature much closer to the addressee.
