皇家邮报在业务成本压力和信函量下降的情况下抬高邮票价格。 Royal Mail raises stamp prices amid operational cost pressures and declining letter volume.

从4月7日起,皇家邮报头等邮票价格将提高到1.70英镑,二等邮票价格将提高到87分。 Royal Mail will increase first-class stamp prices to £1.70 and second-class stamps to 87p starting April 7th. 价格上扬是由于业务费用不断上涨,尽管信封量有所下降。 The price hikes are due to rising operational costs despite a decline in letter volume. 像公民咨询协会这样的批评者认为,增加是不公正的,是消费者的又一个负担。 Critics like Citizens Advice argue the increases are unjust and another burden on consumers. Ofcom提议减少二等货交付日,以保护邮政业,政府正以36亿英镑的价格出售皇家邮递公司的母公司,同时保留监管控制。 Ofcom proposed reducing second-class delivery days to protect the postal industry, and the government is selling Royal Mail's parent company for £3.6 billion while retaining regulatory control.
