Exceptions to Royal Mail’s universal service obligation – for 1, 3 and 4 January 2011

This consultation seeks views from postal users (senders and recipients) on Royal Mail’s application for an exception to the universal service on:

• Monday 3 January 2011 in the UK; and

• Tuesday 4 January 2011 in Scotland only,

in addition to Saturday 1 January 2011.

Royal Mail has made this request because under current arrangements there would be no service on Saturday 1 January but a normal service would resume on bank holiday Monday 3 January (except for Scotland where a normal service would resume on Tuesday 4 January).

If Postcomm agrees to an exception to the universal service obligation on the dates requested, it means that Royal Mail will not have to deliver or collect mail on those dates.

This is a one month consultation. The deadline for responses is 22 October 2010.
