I see from P4 of the Independent that a Tynwald Scrutiny Committee has now recommended that IoM Post be granted exclusive rights to the delivery of parcel post up to 1kg in weight. This would exclude the private delivery "gig economy" operators (such as Hermes) from the sector and protect Post Office business, including any future requirement for Treasury subvention.
The PO's income has apparently been badly hit by a fall in letter volumes and competition from the unregulated private "gig" sector. It already enjoys exclusive rights to the delivery of letter post.
Discuss....?
