The Portsmouth News has apologised to readers after problems with paper deliveries this morning (Monday 29 August 2022)

A protest overnight meant vans couldn't leave their print site in Essex.

In a statement on the Portsmouth News website, editor Mark Waldron said: "An overnight protest caused Essex Police to close off access to and from our print site in Thurrock and our delivery vans were not able to leave the premises.

"We would like to apologise to all our readers and advertisers who have been affected by this."
