Post Office wants to be more sustainable

Sat, 16 Jun 2018

The Isle of Man Post Office is looking for ways to make its letter and parcels division more sustainable and affordable.

The service is working on a strategy for the next five years following a 47% drop in the number of people sending letters over the last decade.

The Post Office says it wants to remain self-funding without relying on taxpayer subsidies, but its letters and parcels division currently takes funds from the board's commercial operations.

A consultation will be launched soon, giving the public and local businesses an opportunity to provide feedback on the future of the postal service.
