Royal Mail says it is experiencing disruption to service in the Bridlington area.

It added that there was a recent COVID outbreak in the office, which meant that more than 30 out of around 50 postal workers were off at the same time.

A Royal Mail spokesperson said:

“In the Bridlington area we are experiencing disruption to service due to significant COVID related and other sickness absences. Due to the exceptionally high numbers of staff absent we have been rotating deliveries in the area so that our customers receive their mail as frequently as possible. We apologise to customers for any inconvenience they have experienced. We expect our levels of service will begin returning to normal from the start of next week.”
