People living in a block of flats in Oxford say they have not received their post for almost a month - and 10 days since the end of the city's postal strike.

Residents of South Bridge Row, St Aldate's, are demanding an explanation from Royal Mail over the delay.

Post services in Oxfordshire were disrupted during a 16-day unofficial strike which finished on April 16.

David King, 73, who lives in the city council-owned flats, said: "It has been nearly a month since we have got any post.

"All the people in the block I have spoken to say the same. I went to the Oxpens office two or three days ago to complain and see if I could pick up the post if there was no-one to deliver it.

"But they didn't have it and I was told someone would look into it, but no one has got back to me.

"The postal strike is over now. I would have thought I would get something through by now.

"I am waiting for cheques, bank statements and credit card bills, which if I don't get I'll have to pay interest on."

Fellow resident Chris Norris, 65, said: "I complained the day before yesterday and was told the post office would deliver the mail from the last four days first instead of clearing the backlog.

"It's unacceptable.

"Possibly they had good reason to strike, but it's common sense to clear the backlog first.

"It's not just me - it's the whole block. It seems like they have forgotten us."

Mr Norris said he was waiting for two packages, bills and cheques.

Mary Beeson, 73, who also lives in the block, said she was expecting letters but had received nothing for about three weeks.

She said: "We are waiting for important business letters and bills. I have a store card bill I need to pay, which will cost interest."

Joan Starky, 65, said she had not had any post for three weeks.

Boxes containing thousands of letters stored during the strike arrived at the Headington post office on Saturday.

When contacted over the weekend, Royal Mail said it could not make any comment.
