In a statement, Royal Mail said: “Following the Met Office weather warnings from Monday, 6 January 2025, snow and ice have caused severe disruption to mail collection and distribution services across some parts of the UK.

“The majority of services are running as usual, but in some areas, there is disruption to deliveries and collections – including Post Offices and Post Boxes.

“Whilst we’re working hard to maintain and recover our services, where it is safe to do so, there may be some ongoing disruption and delays to deliveries.”
