Hold a Government Inquiry into the poor standards of delivery companies.
Parcel theft has increased to an estimated £666.5m last year. Parcels are no longer left in designated spaces or with neighbours. Drivers themselves are routineley caught stealing. The government must hold an inquiry into the standards of delivery services to ensure improvements are made.
Delivery companies failure to pay a suitable wage and their use of contracting employees has resulted in over worked drivers offering the lowest of quality of delivery services. This includes parcel theft, signature forgery, cases of public urination and other unnacceptable behaviours. Noticeable decline has occured since Covid, whereby parcels are no longer left in safe designated spaces, drivers are not attempting to deliver to neighbours, and forging signatures to leave parcels unnatended.
