Chris Philp MP: Enough is enough on Royal Mail Delays

For months, Royal Mail delivery failures in Croydon South have caused serious disruption.

I have received repeated reports of weeks without letter deliveries, alongside growing concern about missed medical appointments and official correspondence.

Given the scale and persistence of these problems, I have written to the Business Secretary and the Interim CEO of the Royal Mail, Alistair Cochrane, to demand answers and to press for immediate improvement. I attach a copy of the letter I have sent, and I will keep you updated with replies.

I attended the Sanderstead Recreation Ground Litter Pick with my ward colleague Cllr Helen Redfern.  We have seen a marked difference in the amount of litter dropped in the park which is good to note.
