Newsdesk Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 13 hours ago, Gladys said: The Post Office Act 1993 s4(2)(e) allows the PO to contract with any person to deliver the services as its agent or otherwise. Unless you can find something which requires a 'person' for these purposes to be an individual rather than a legal person, which is the usual interpretation and includes bodies corporate. The application to be a sub postmaster seems to be a personal application only requiring you to disclose your personal details. This is from the IOM Post website 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris if there's a need to reduce the frequency of the Southern route, please be aware that the contingency service is not the long-term solution. Firstly, there's been overcrowding on commuter buses because they've kept single deckers on the route. Secondly the current route south of Castletown only works with a 4 per hour service, by switching to 3 per hour buses from PSM to PE, Colby, Ballabeg route is now 1 an hour, whereas if all buses went PSM to PE then onto C/Town via Colby (2/3) or Gansey (1/3) it would conntect the Southern villages better.

I'm not convinced that stuff taking longer is anything to do with no Saturday service. And paying higher prices again is more to do with the current climate and oil/gas and wage issues. Yes clearly anything arriving on a friday unless in early is not happaning till Monday etc but resurecting Saturday delivery will not help the issues in the rest of the week.

Parcels are delivered on Saturday not letters & who wants bills & spam on Saturday? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not in the current climate . Most places in the UK seem to be able to manage to provide a Saturday delivery service. To me it’s an admission that the PO a isn’t really up to the job. If they rostered staff properly it shouldn’t cost much more either but the way contracts are constructed they’re paying extra to get staff to work on a Saturday. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
