Royal Mail delays

Our addressing team work closely with Royal Mail, who are currently experiencing delays. They are taking up to three weeks to add addresses on to Postcode Address File (PAF) instead of the usual four working days. This is also having a knock-on effect on how quickly they respond to our requests, and is not something we can control. We apologise for any inconvenience.
