A “temporary solution” has been found for delayed mail deliveries affecting Harrington Sound and Southampton, the Bermuda Post Office has announced.

Both have been hampered by a labour dispute with the Bermuda Industrial Union: two routes in Harrington Sound have been hit since January, while Southampton has been troubled since late 2015.

According to a BPO statement, both districts should now get regular mail, with a backlog in Harrington Sound cleared by the week’s end.

Southampton was said to have received consistent mail for the past month.
