My local delivery office is already down to posting once a week, I’ve been to the office and spoken to them twice before and they always blame it on my postman being sick.
I doubt that - more likely the Post Office is short staffed and can’t afford to run a proper service.

More likely they won’t pay for a proper service, as to do so would impact potential profits.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The government has said it would not support Royal Mail scrapping post deliveries on Saturdays.
But Downing Street said the government “would not countenance” such a move, as a review by regulator Ofcom is looking into the future of the postal service.
“The PM’s strong view is that Saturday deliveries provide flexibility and convenience,” said Rishi Sunak’s spokesperson on Monday.
Ofcom, which regulates the postal industry, is set to publish a document outlining options on how Royal Mail can “evolve to more closely meet consumer needs”.
Royal Mail posted a £319m loss for the first half of the current financial year and the business, which is owned by shareholders, has been calling for urgent reform since 2020.
Ofcom has said that while it will publish options for how the postal service might need to change, it would “ultimately be for the UK government and Parliament to determine whether any changes are needed to the minimum requirements of the universal service”.
