Neighbours on a Swindon street say they have not received any mail since their postman retired last month.
None of the dozens of residents on Bideford Close in Park North have had envelopes dropped through their letterbox or deliveries to their doorsteps following the retirement of their local postie, who did his last round after 25 years of service on Tuesday, August 26.
People living on that street fear that the medication, important legal and government documents, and other planned arrivals they are expecting may have been lost in the post during the change of staff.
When contacting the local Royal Mail depot in Dorcan, they were told that all of the recent mail for that area has already been sent out and there is nothing else awaiting delivery.
One concerned citizen, who did not wish to be identified, told the Adver: “It’s very strange.
“One or two homes not getting mail for nine days may be normal, but there’s no way an entire street has had no mail since the bank holiday.
“The only person who has received anything had a special recorded delivery; there’s been no normal mail at all, even though people are expecting it.
“Those who ask Royal Mail about it are told different things: the rack is empty or everything’s already gone out, and we’re getting worried.
