PROPOSALS by Guernsey Post to cut or freeze prices on many of its services have been taken a step further by the regulator, which today announces the pricing structure for the next three years.

In October, Guernsey Post submitted its tariff proposals to the Office of Utility Regulation. The utility proposed freezing many prices for bulk mail, household and business customers. It came at the same time as the States-owned utility committed to strip about £3m.-worth of costs from the business.

The OUR welcomed those proposals, which it said represented a change in approach by the operator, but decided that some of the suggested reductions could be greater. ‘Guernsey Post’s own proposals included many reductions and cost-freezes for business customers,’ OUR director-general John Curran (pictured) said.

‘The OUR review has further extended these proposals and, as a result, certain bulk mail charges to the UK will fall by almost 6p per item. This is double the saving that Guernsey Post had originally proposed.’
