Royal Mail reveals five south east London offices struck by Covid isolation

Royal Mail has today said deliveries are operating "as normal" across most of the country - with the exception of 34 offices.

Five out of the 34 delivery offices hit by Covid-relation self isolation, sick absence or resourcing issues are in south east London.

That means delivering to all addresses with mail in the area six days a week is temporarily not possible.

Royal Mail has said in these cases it will "rotate deliveries to minimise the delay to individual customers".

It apologised for the inconvenience and said targeted support is being provided to support the offices to "address their challenges" and restore service to the "high standard customers would normally receive".

The south east London Royal Mail offices most impacted are:

Camberwell (SE5)
East Dulwich Delivery Office (SE22)
Greenwich Delivery Office (SE10)
Herne Hill Delivery Office (SE24)
Sydenham Delivery Office (SE26)

The full Royal Mail statement said: "Deliveries are operating as normal across most of the country today.

"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. We also provide targeted support to those offices to address their challenges and restore our service to the high standard our customers would normally receive.

"We're sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

"We will regularly update customers on the offices most impacted here."

The full list of affected offices is as follows:

Amesbury (SP3 and SP4)

Bicester DO (OX25 to OX27)

Camberwell (SE5)

Chelmsford DO (CM1 to CM3)

Chipping Norton DO (OX7)

"Employers are always seeking more productivity from workers, without considering the human factor, the worker's age, the weather conditions and the intense heat. We need to intervene before it's too late, reducing working hours and the load carried by workers, because it's impossible to sustain the rhythm they're forced to work at for many years."
