Rural women fear post cuts will cost their communities

From Checkpoint, 4:06 pm today

New Zealand Post has approval to cut the number of mail deliveries it does in a week. In urban areas, two days a week will be the minimum, down from three. But the cuts are deeper in rural areas, where it is a minimum of three days down from five. Rural Women NZ says it will cost their communities and is a step back for farming regions. Chief executive Nicola Eccleton spoke to Lisa Owen.
