Due to a shortage of staff and an increase in demand as Christmas approaches, Royal Mail is experiencing delays with deliveries. The company has updated customers on which areas in the
country are affected. As a result, some mail posted in other parts of the UK yesterday, due for delivery today in parts of Scotland, may arrive later than expected. Some mail centres across
the country reported that not all mail was processed or despatched on time over the past 24 hours, resulting in delayed deliveries. The mail centres affected are below. Bristol Mail Centre:

likely in some parts of Britain. On its website, Royal Mail stated: “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. “In those cases we will rotate
deliveries to minimise the delay to individual customers.” The postcodes affected across the country today are listed below. Belfast West DO (BT10 - BT12 and BT17) Belper DO (DE56) Burnham
