From Ken Fletcher:-

I WAS disappointed to read recent letters in Mailbox regarding the difficulties being experienced at Prenton Sorting Office, resulting in mail being delivered later in the day.

I understand that 'postman availability' at the moment is under half what it would normally be, due to holidays and illness.

I was pleased to see the letter (Mailbox, August 25th) from Mrs Aldcroft, of Heswall, that despite all the difficulties, the relief postmen are cheerful and, above all, courteous to us, the public.

Kings Mount, Prenton.
