Royal Mail blame "staffing pressures" for delayed postal deliveries in Rugby
Royal Mail say “staffing pressures” in Rugby are to blame for delayed postal deliveries across parts of the town.
People in Rugby say letters have been arriving weeks late and large batches of mail are turning up all at once.
Rugby MP John Slinger said the situation is “completely unacceptable”.
Alan Hunt, who lives in Bilton, was kept waiting before 27 letters turned up all at once.
Heidi Thomas, of Boughton Vale, said: "I was kept waiting weeks for some important letters.
"I managed to get through to Royal Mail after two hours on the phone and raised a complaint.”
A Royal Mail spokesperson said: “We take concerns about deliveries very seriously and understand how important it is that customers receive their mail when expected.”
They said tmporary staffing pressures at Rugby Delivery Office have affected deliveries.
A statement from Royal Mail added: "Any outstanding mail is being prioritised and the team is working to return her deliveries to normal as quickly as possible.”
