Royal Mail is poised to scrap Saturday second-class letter deliveries across the UK by December, having reached an agreement with the staff trade union on the nationwide implementation of the changes.
This significant overhaul, which will see second-class post no longer delivered on Saturdays and the service adjusted to every other weekday, brings an end to a lengthy dispute with unions. The reforms will initially extend to 240 delivery offices as part of a wider trial, before being fully implemented across the entire 1,200-strong UK network by the end of the year.
