Royal losers at council
Published Date:

Preston council bosses are set to approve a plan to slash the authority's postal bill by more than £17,500 – by dumping Royal Mail for its second class mail.
The cabinet is expected to agree that all such mail will be delivered by rival operator TNT, with first class mail and special deliveries still handled by Royal Mail.
It could ultimately lead to all deliveries being switched from the Royal Mail.
A report said: "While TNT's performance is good in terms of items delivered within timescales, it was felt this would be an appropriate route for the council until confidence with the new supplier had been established."
The cabinet will meet to decide next Wednesday.
