A new way of pricing postage On 21st August this year, the way postage is priced will change In the current system the postage you pay is only based on the weight of your items, which doesn't reflect the true cost of handling mail. Smaller items are less expensive to sort and process, so it is logical that they should cost less to send. Three new size formats. The new system will use both size and weight to calculate the cost of postage. The costs will be based on whether your items fall into three main size formats
In general, this means you'll pay the same or less for small items of post, and more for larger items. It is estimated that over 80% of all mail either won't be affected or will cost less to send. For items which might cost more to send, there is often a simple way to keep your postage costs down eg. by folding your A4 items and using C5 envelopes instead. All the information you need To help you understand the implications well in advance, you can visit www.royalmail.com/change to find out more and see the prices that will come into effect from 21st August. You can also order a
size guide which you can use to determine the new cost of your mail and register for the e-updates. |

In 1998 the Memorial Stores and Post Office, which had been part of Limpsfield Village for many years, was in danger of closing.
Local people wanted to continue to have a local shop and PO and decided to save it. Over �40,000 was raised through gifts and loans to buy and relaunch the business for the benefit of the local community.
The business reopened in April 1999 and has fulfilled everyone's dream by becoming an Important part of the Village.
The shop employs three staff. The shop and PO are managed by Jane Radziejewski. David Humber is our early morning star and Abby Barras is in charge on Sunday mornings.
In addition there is a large number of volunteers who give an hour or two a week to help in the shop (some do much more!). You will meet them providing good service on the checkout when you shop. One volunteer has been trained to be able to work in the Post Office.
Over 240 local people hold a �10 share in the Limpsfield Village Store Association Ltd. This is a 'not for profit' organisation which owns the business. A Management Committee of seven people oversees the operation of the business.
