Nearly all post on time

Nearly 95% of first class mail posted in Notts reaches its UK destination the next working day, according to new figures.

The Royal Mail figures put performance in the NG postcode area second only to Derby in the Midlands.

Postwatch, the watchdog for postal services, welcomed Royal Mail’s latest quality of service results.

Across the Midlands in the first nine months of this financial year, Royal Mail achieved the minimum target of delivering 91.5% of first class post the next working day in all of the region’s 16 postcode areas.
