At the moment posties work a 5 day week over 6 days with a different day off each week

Go down to 5 days over 5 then a sixth of the workforce wouldn’t be needed to deliver letters, a percentage of them could deliver parcels but the bulk would leave the business

If mail is being delivered over five days the the fuel bill for vans would be cut by a sixth, over the whole of the UK it’s a big saving
