Royal Mail given go-ahead to make changes to second-class post service

Royal Mail has been granted permission by regulator Ofcom to cease Saturday deliveries for second-class post, effective from 28 July.

The postal service will discontinue its six-day-a-week service for second-class letters, moving them to an alternative weekday schedule. First-class post will, however, retain its Monday to Saturday delivery. Ofcom confirmed that the three-working-day delivery target for second-class letters remains unchanged.
