Royal Mail
Worried about the future of the Post Offices in the islands? You should be.
First the pension books are removed and now the mail is going via a private operator who doesn't have a universal obligation to deliver to every address in the UK. As I have forecast in the Council chamber previously, the postal service is being cherry-picked for the benefit of the large cities and at the expense of the rural areas.
How long before the Royal Mail becomes the only - and very expensive - operator to cover rural areas, or starts to graduate its' prices? If you thought an islands surcharge applied only to parcels, I can see in five years time that it will apply to the regular post too.
