Royal Mail announced today that deliveries are operating as normal throughout most of the country, but a small number of offices will experience delays.
A statement on their website said: ‘We aim to deliver to all addresses we have mail for, six days a week.
‘In a small number of local offices this may temporarily not be possible due to local issues such as Covid-related self isolation, high levels of sick absence, resourcing, or other local factors.

‘We're sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.’
Royal Mail will continue to update customers in Havant about the service.
