A petition demanding the return of Taynuilt’s once firstclass postal system has gathered more than 350 signatures. Support is growing for the campaign in protest at unreliable deliveries to the village and surrounding areas, including Kilchrenan.
Changes were brought in by Royal Mail last year as part of a trial run, with post now being sorted at Oban rather than from Taynuilt post offce. Many in the community now say the service has become hit and miss. Last week new community councillor Maggie Croffput this post up on Taynuilt What’s Happening Facebook page on behalf of the council.
‘Since Royal Mail has changed its mail sorting arrangements (mail is no longer sorted at Taynuilt post offce), many people have noticed a deterioration in the mail service: mail being delivered late; or later in the day; or to the wrong address. A petition is being held at Taynuilt post offce and currently has in excess of 350 signatures. This petition will be submitted by Taynuilt Community Council as a complaint to Royal Mail. If you have not yet signed, or are aware of anyone who may wish to add their names, please do so as soon as possible.’
