Mail disruption expected

by isleofman.com 16th August 2009

Disruption to mail services in the south of the United Kingdom will have a knock-on effect for the Isle of Man next week.

It follows further strike action announced by the Communication Workers Union.

On Monday, the delivery and collection of mail will be affected in London, Nottingham, Coventry and Leamington Spa.

Meanwhile, the international sorting centre will also be disrupted.

On Wednesday, the main area affected is London with 24-hour strikes involving mail deliveries in numerous postcode areas.

Other areas expected to suffer delivery delays are Peterborough, Medway Valley, Maidstone, Faversham, Chatham and Sheerness.

Isle of Man Post Office says it will be forwarding all mail as normal to the affected areas throughout the industrial action next week but customers should expect some delays to standard mail reaching its destination.

Special Delivery next-day guaranteed service from the Isle of Man shouldn't be affected, thanks to contingency plans.

Isle of Man Post would like to confirm its employees are not involved in this industrial action and apologises for these events which are outside of its control.

If you have any queries call Isle of Man Post Office’s Customer Services Team on 664664.
