Royal Mail has asked Postcomm for a temporary exemption which would waive the 50p Redelivery local collect charge during December 2008.
Postcomm today published a consultation letter which seeks stakeholders' views on Royal Mail’s request, and stakeholders are invited to respond to the letter by 7 November 2008. We expect to make a decision in early November 2008.
Notes for editors:
* On 26 September 2008, Royal Mail applied for a Direction from Postcomm for exemption from the three month notification period required by Condition 7 for it to waive the 50p Redelivery Local Collect charge during December 2008. It proposed to make this change available to all recipients of items that have not been delivered on the first attempt.

On 7 October 2008, Postcomm issued a consultation letter seeking views on Royal Mail’s request for an exemption from certain requirements of Condition 7 and Postcomm’s initial assessment.
It is important for us to get the views of stakeholders in the postal sector, and we will consider carefully these views before making our final decision on Royal Mail’s request.
The Consultation is open for four weeks and will close on 7 November 2008.
