A number of residents across south west Birmingham – particularly in Northfield and surrounding areas – have reported not having received any letterbox deliveries from Royal Mail for up to ten days.
A Royal Mail spokesperson today confirmed some services have been experiencing disruption due to COVID-related absence.
The spokesperson said: “The health and safety of our colleagues and our customers is our number one priority.
“In a limited number of areas, we are experiencing some disruption to service due to COVID related absences. In impacted areas, we are focused on providing as comprehensive a service as possible to our customers.”
