Royal Mail proposal to cut second class deliveries: Another slap in the face

3 Apr 2024

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the news that Royal Mail wants to reduce second class deliveries to three days a week, Liberal Democrat Business Spokesperson Sarah Olney MP said:

“These plans are a slap in the face for families being asked to pay more for less.

“The cost of first and second class stamps has gone up sharply in recent years. It risks creating a cost of postage crisis, as people feel forced to pay for first class stamps because second class delivery days are being slashed.

“People shouldn’t have to pay the price for Royal Mail’s failure, after executives missed their delivery targets and paid themselves eye-watering bonuses.”
