Changes to Stourbridge mail delivery planned
Some residents will receive their post later in Stourbridge because of a shake-up to delivery services announced today.
Royal Mail is changing its delivery routes around the town in the coming weeks.
Bosses say residents could receive their letters later because of the changes than they currently do, but added that some post could possibly arrive earlier than it does now. The changes affect the DY7, DY8 and DY9 postcode areas.
Royal Mail said changes were necessary as people are sending fewer letters and more parcels and packages, which are more difficult and heavy to deliver.
They are introducing more vans to take bulkier items to homes in the area. The new delivery routes, which will see workers continue to deliver in the morning and for longer during the day, will be introduced in phases.
Residents and businesses will receive a letter outlining the changes.
Royal Mail's collection and delivery sector manager Andrew Corr said: "We are proud of the high regard in which our postmen and women are held in Stourbridge.
