The following has been reported by Caroline Shearing of New Wharf Road:

A number of residents in New Wharf Road have not received Royal Mail deliveries for more than two weeks.  To date – 42 canal boats, 10 houses, six flats and one office are among those affected. 

New Wharf Road’s regular postman has been moved to another route and Islington sorting office is now using casual staff to deliver post to the area (or not, as is the case).  Numerous items of post containing information that could lead to identity fraud are missing.  

Anyone concerned about their postal deliveries should call Royal Mail Customer Service on: 01752 387112 (thus avoiding having to endure the infuriating options on the 08457 740740 number that Royal Mail would rather the public use).
