Bearsden and Bishopbriggs post hit by staff shortages

They were among others in the Glasgow and surrounding area.

On Tuesday, January 11, Royal Mail listed the offices affected via their website and said: "Deliveries are operating as normal across most of the country today.

"We aim to deliver to all addresses we have mail for, six days a week.

"In a small number of local offices, this may temporarily not be possible due to local issues such as COVID-related self-isolation, high levels of sick absence, resourcing, or other local factors.

"In those cases, we will rotate deliveries to minimise the delay to individual customers.

"We also provide targeted support to those offices to address their challenges and restore our service to the high standard our customers would normally receive.

"We're sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding."
