Islington residents have spoken of their frustration with postal delays as Royal Mail works hard to maintain its service through the pandemic.
Royal Mail says resourcing and self-isolation issues amid the Covid-19 crisis has caused problems at its offices around the country, including in Highbury and Upper Holloway.
This newspaper understands the problem in Islington emerged around late November, with residents reporting deliveries arriving weeks late throughout the festive period and beyond.
A Barnsbury resident, Jennie Loveday, told the
Gazette: People were very upset and angry that all their Christmas stuff did not arrive before Christmas. But obviously, it s not only Christmas cards that have been delayed. There are so many people now that are applying for universal credit and people are not getting these letters.
