Royal Mail has now confirmed it’s begun trials to end Saturday second class delivery in a number of areas will extend those pilots to more locations next month.

Even though Ofcom has not agreed to any changes to Royal Mail’s legal obligations under the USO, these trials will also reduce second class delivery to every other weekday, Monday to Friday.

These changes will impact over a million households and small businesses, reducing their second class post service even though overall reforms planned by Ofcom and Royal Mail have not been approved.

GCA members are uniting to ensure their voice is heard right across the UK – one member, David Falkner of Cardology even took a post box from his design studio near Croydon to parliament.

It’s time for MPs to get involved and stop a further spiral of decline which could ultimately result in Royal Mail calling time on an affordable second-class stamp.
