Local charity Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW) has a new initiative for September. The charity is encouraging supporters to donate postage stamps to help raise funds for the charity’s three children’s hospices in the region.

This means first class postage stamps will be 63p and second class postage stamps will be 54p. As part of these changes, there is also an implication to the cost of sending a large letter first class from previous levels meaning these too will increase from 93p to 95p and from 73p to 74p if sent second class. So is the increase now set to be an annual one, or will the state of the economy drive the change in pricing moving forwards? Looking back, the...
