Royal Mail has scrapped Saturday letter deliveries until further notice due to coronavirus. From this weekend onwards, the group will "temporarily" no longer deliver letters on a Saturday.

Deliveries already do not happen on a Sunday, so more people will face waiting into the following week for their letters to arrive.

However, Royal Mail insisted "most" parcels, as well as Special Delivery, Tracked and all non-account services, will continue being delivered six days per week.

Saturday collections from businesses, post office branches and post boxes also continue as normal. The move was blasted by the Communication Workers' Union, which represents posties and hinted it could even lead to a strike.
