A series of strikes by the Royal Mail in the UK has so far not affected mail to Malta, a spokesman for Maltapost said this morning.

"The volume of mail from the UK to Malta has not been affected. No mail has been stuck at Heathrow," the spokesman said.

He added, however, that some clients may experience delays if items they requested from UK suppliers were held up in delivery to Heathrow.

Royal Mail workers are protesting over plans to reform and steamline the organisation in view of falling mail volumes.
