Church minister against Royal Mail’s Sunday working

A Dundee minister has criticised a decision by the Royal Mail to open 100 delivery offices this Sunday.

Rev David Robertson of the Free Church of Scotland says money being used to open these premises could be better spent reducing the price of stamps or improving its service to customers.

Mr Robertson described the development as a retrograde step and also said it would create a two-tier system with huge swathes of rural areas across Scotland being excluded from the pilot.

Royal Mail say delivery offices in parts of Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Inverness will be open for four hours on Sunday.
