People across south Essex have been warned they may not get post or deliveries today.

Royal Mail has warned its Southend delivery office is are experiencing disruption due to staffing issues today.

Bosses have said a mix of illness and Covid means they cannot commit to delivering to certain postcodes in the county everyday.

The postcodes impacted by issues are:

SS0 - Westcliff-on-Sea, Chalkwell
SS1 - Southend-on-Sea, Thorpe Bay
SS2 - Southend-on-Sea, Prittlewell, Southchurch, London Southend Airport
SS3 - Shoeburyness, Great Wakering, Little Wakering, Barling
SS4 - Rochford, Ashingdon, Canewdon, Stambridge, Paglesham
SS9 - Eastwood, Leigh-on-Sea

A spokesman said: "We aim to deliver to all addresses we have mail for, six days a week.

"In a small number of local offices this may temporarily not be possible due to local issues such as COVID-related self isolation, high levels of sick absence, resourcing, or other local factors.

"In those cases we will rotate deliveries to minimise the delay to individual customers.

"We also provide targeted support to those offices to address their challenges and restore our service to the high standard our customers would normally receive.

"We're sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

"We will regularly update customers on the offices most impacted."
