I have recently received concerns from residents about erratic post deliveries in parts of the Perth Road area - this could not be wholly due to recent weather as the problems of days without any deliveries appeared to start before the onset on the recent bad weather.
Having contacted Royal Mail on residents' behalf, I have received the following feedback from their External Relations Manager :
"I have looked into this and the office has been experiencing a high level of sick absence which unfortunately has impacted on deliveries in this area. We apologise to customers for any convenience caused and robust plans are now in place to ensure customers receive their mail as and when there is mail for them."
