Second class mail deliveries are to be slashed from six to just three days a week from later this month in one of the biggest cutbacks in postal services in the 500 year history of the Royal Mail.
Regulator Ofcom said today it has given the go ahead to proposals to allow Royal Mail to deliver second class letters on alternate weekdays from Monday to Friday with no Saturday delivery. Delivery will still have to be made within three days of collection and the first class post is not affect. The changes will come into effect on 28 July.
