This meant that delivery services in the area were badly disrupted yesterday. While the action continues today, contingency arrangements are in place to deliver as much mail as possible including our Special Delivery and Tracked products.

Our enquiry office at Crosby remains open as normal and collections from customers, posting boxes and Post Offices in the area should be unaffected. We are of course making efforts to resolve this matter as quickly as we can and return services to normal. Meanwhile, we apologise to customers in the area for any inconvenience caused.

Still out according to Royal Mail communications

Deliveries and collections
While mail deliveries and collections were performed in almost all areas over the weekend, customers served by Crosby Delivery Office continue to be affected by unballoted industrial action taken by members of the Communication Workers Union who deliver in the L22, L23 and L29 postcode areas. While the action continues today, contingency arrangements are in place to deliver as much mail as possible including our Special Delivery and Tracked products. Our enquiry office at Crosby remains open as normal and collections from customers, posting boxes and Post Offices in the area should be unaffected. We are of course making efforts to resolve this matter as quickly as we can and return services to normal. Meanwhile, we apologise to customers in the area for any inconvenience caused.

They probably have drafted managers in from round the area.

My DOM was up there last weekend and went back up again last night - apparently we won't be seeing him again this week.

There was a series of warning emails floating around from CWU Activists warning that OPGs may be asked to go, I hope they were warned away, and if not.........
