Lynne Featherstone MP has organised a first meeting with Royal Mail and residents to explore the possibility of setting up a Hornsey & Wood Green Mail Watchdog.

Following the thousands of responses to her postal survey, highlighting the poor levels of service in many parts of the constituency, Ms Featherstone has brought together a working party to set about establishing a local organisation to work with Royal Mail in driving up standards.

Lynne Featherstone comments:

“I was overwhelmed by the responses to my survey and the extent of the problems locally.I have already done a lot to get Royal Mail to tackle residents’ complaints individually, but now I want to take it a step further to make sure the improvements are here to stay.

“I have previously had great success in setting up Bus Watch, which has been instrumental in standing up for bus users’ rights.Now I want to see what I can done to my sure my constituents get the postal service they deserve and pay for.”

Residents interested in taking part in Hornsey & Wood Green Mail Watch should contact Lynne. The next meeting is to be held in early autumn.
