Danesborough & Walton Ward Councillor and Woburn Sands Mayor, Cllr David Hopkins, says he is receiving an increasing number of reports from residents complaining about the state of postal deliveries.
"Complaints about 'shambolic' postal services in Milton Keynes reflect real issues such as inconsistent deliveries, late mail, and apparent branch disruptions, with Woburn Sands, Wavendon and Bow Brickhill residents in particular reporting numerous days without mail followed by bulk drops, impacting essential services," said Cllr Hopkins.
"I am pushing Royal Mail for improvements in service reliability in line with Royal Mail obligations in areas like mine and I know that local residents are raising petitions to demand better service."
The crucial issues and concerns reported to Cllr Hopkins include inconsistent delivery, with residents reporting days without mail, then large dumps of mail arriving at once.
He also cites the impact on life, with missing mail contributing to missed GP appointments.
Apart from raising complaints with the Royal Mail, Cllr Hopkins has written to the leader of MK City Council, and to his local MP calling for an investigation into the state of royal mail services across the new city and for restorative action to be taken.
He is urging residents to log complaints by contacting Royal Mail directly and to write to the local MP.
