Royal Mail fined £22m for repeated delivery failures
The UK postal regulator has fined Royal Mail £22 million for failing to meet delivery performance standards over several months. Investigations found systemic delays and missed targets in parcels and mail, especially in rural areas. The penalty is among the largest ever issued to the firm and underscores growing regulatory pressure on essential services. Royal Mail says it is investing in logistics and operational changes to improve reliability.
