Royal Mail have advised that not all mail was processed to schedule at its Nottingham and Northern Ireland Mail Processing Centres yesterday. This is likely to cause delays to mail in the following areas:

• Nottingham Mail Centre: Some mail posted yesterday in the DE and NG postcode areas, due for delivery today to addresses across the rest of the UK.
• Northern Ireland Mail Centre: Some mail posted yesterday across the rest of the UK, due for delivery today in the BT postcode area.

There are also delivery delays in some areas due to local issues such as COVID-related self isolation, high levels of sick absence, resourcing, or other local factors. The following areas are currently affected:

• Chulmleigh DO (EX18)
• Hanwell DO (W7)
• Liverpool South East DO (L13, L15 and L16)
• Southend on Sea DO (SS0 to SS4, SS9 and SS22)
