Royal Mail slammed for ‘safety and security risk’ in Oxford

The man – who lives in St Clement’s and did not wish to be named – has said that Royal Mail has been putting his post under a communal door despite him repeatedly asking the company not to.

He lives in a six-flat building and explained that previously the postal worker would gain access to the building by ringing the outside doorbells and then would post the letters into each individual flat.

However, over at least the past month he said that this has not been happening and the man claims this is a “safety and security risk”.

“The postman is just chucking them under the door,” he said, adding that there could be anything in the letters including bank cards.

He said: “Anybody could go through it.

“Anyone who knows anything about the door could through at any time or they could even get a stick and get the letters through to them.”

The man said he had repeatedly complained to Royal Mail about it but the issue has persisted.

The company has since promised to look into the complaint.

A Royal Mail spokesperson said: “We will look into this with the local delivery team, as while there can be occasions where access to a building isn’t possible and items may be left in a communal area, our aim is always to deliver mail as securely as we can.”
