UP to 40 Royal Mail managers will join staff at Stratford-upon-Avon Sorting Office today (Thursday) to clear a backlog alleged to contain a staggering 90,000 items as Stratford MP Nadhim Zahawi demands those responsible for the delivery failures are held to account, writes Rebekah Smith.

More than two months after problems began delivery staff were told during a meeting yesterday (Wednesday) that Royal Mail bosses want the backlog cleared by Sunday.

The news offers hope to frustrated residents and businesses still waiting for payments, important documents and Christmas cards posted as long ago as late November.

But one postman told the Herald he thought it would take at least two weeks to clear the enormous backlog and the managers coming in today would be the first help staff have received for six weeks. He described the situation as “a farce” and in reference to Royal Mail’s official statement blaming December’s snowfall for the continuing chaos, added: “The weather was just the excuse they were looking for.”
