Royal Mail has confirmed that there may have been issues with certain deliveries to addresses in Ibstock.

The area is one of three highlighted by Royal Mail on Saturday.

It says that in a small number of local offices, postal and delivery services six days a week may temporarily not be possible due to 'local issues'.

This includes high levels of sick absence, resourcing, or other local factors.

The Royal Mail website says that customers living in Ibstock, with the postcode LE67 could be impacted by this - starting yesterday.

In these cases, Royal Mail says it rotates deliveries to minimise the delay to individual customers.

The postal service adds it is providing 'targeted support' to address their challenges and 'restore their service to the high standard'.

Other areas of the UK which are impacted by current issues include: Bristol South East DO (BS4 and BS14), and Kennington (SE11).
