County Durham Mail Deliveries Suspended Following Threat to Postal Worker

RecentNews.uk

Mail deliveries to households in County Durham have been suspended due to threats against a postal worker.

Royal Mail halted services under worker safety protocols following the incident, as reported by the BBC.

Health and safety laws allow Royal Mail to pause its Universal Service Obligation when staff face physical danger or intimidation.

Affected residents may need to collect essential post directly from local delivery offices while risk assessments take place.

Should Royal Mail automatically suspend deliveries to an entire street when a postal worker faces a threat?
