End of Saturday letter deliveries raises few concerns

GUERNSEY POST made its last Saturday letter deliveries on the weekend.

In an effort to save around £400,000 a year, the States-owned utility announced in February it would no longer deliver mail on a Saturday.

The States agreed in October to amend its universal service obligation from a six-day delivery and collection week to five.

Mount Durand residents supported the move to stop Saturday letter deliveries.

Housewife Philippa Bruges said she felt her post could wait until Monday and she did not mind at all that the service had been stopped.
