Public asked for feedback on future of Post Office

Thu, 23 Aug 2018

The Isle of Man Post Office wants to hear the public's views on the future of its letter and parcel services.

The organisation says fewer people are sending letters and using post offices, but parcel deliveries are increasing due to more people shopping online.

The Post Office believes these changes have led to it reporting a loss for the first time in its history.

A survey has been published on the Government's website asking Manx residents what changes they think would be acceptable in a bid to save money.

Suggestions include cutting Saturday's letter deliveries, increasing the cost of postage and reducing the opening hours of post offices.

The survey and more details about the consultation can be found online, with responses being accepted until October 2nd.
