Letter: Post-haste perhaps
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Mr Frank Card
Sir: ''Second deliveries will continue'', says Ken Wright, the Royal Mail's assistant managing director (Letters, 30 December). ''No second delivery has been withdrawn and none will be.''
All this must be very comforting for those who actually have a second delivery. I have lived in Cressing for nearly 30 years, and it is true that the second delivery has not been withdrawn; even the Royal Mail cannot withdraw what it has never provided.
But perhaps this is unfair. Our post arrives at any time between 8am and 2pm. Could it be that on some days we get a first delivery and sometimes a second, but never both?
We are told by Mr Wright that 90 per cent of mail is delivered on the first delivery. Could he ask the Royal Mail statisticians to explain how that figure is affected if one-delivery areas are removed from the equation?
Yours faithfully,
Frank Card
