Royal Mail has announced that there will be no deliveries or collections on Monday, May 4, due to the Early May Bank Holiday. Services will resume on Tuesday, May 5. This suspension affects all regions across the UK, including England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. Over the weekend, Royal Mail operated normally, delivering parcels on Saturday and Sunday. The company has faced criticism for delays in mail delivery, prompting a £500 million transformation plan aimed at improving service. Royal Mail's owner, Daniel Kretinsky, acknowledged the issues before MPs, stating that while the situation is not perfect, it is manageable. The transformation plan includes changes to delivery schedules, such as eliminating Saturday Second Class deliveries and alternating weekday services to enhance efficiency. Royal Mail is committed to meeting new delivery targets set by the regulator Ofcom, including achieving 90% First Class delivery and 95% Second Class delivery within specified timeframes.
