Julie Edge MHK is standing by the price hike
The Chair of Isle of Man Post Office says the rise in the cost of a stamp, from 6 April, reflects increased costs both on and off the Island.
The price will go up by five pence, from 57p to 62p.
Julie Edge MHK says notice of the rise was given some time ago:
