Ian Senior, an independent postal economist, has told Wake Up to Money that Royal Mail should cut its deliveries to just three a week.

"The business is still viable, particularly on the parcels side, but it's not got a very good long term future" he says.

"You have to realise that value of delivering a parcel is going up, the value of delivering a letter is going down."

The great majority of letter mail is not time sensitive anymore鈥� says Ian, who adds that going down to three days a week would be a huge saving.
