Royal Mail delivered good news about its delivery of mail across the country on Tuesday but Oxfordshire customers are facing a delay to find out what local services are like.

The company said 94 per cent of first class letters were delivered the next day in the last financial year, one per cent higher than the post organisation's official target.

The number of second class letters delivered within three days of posting reached 98.9 per cent against a target of 98.5 per cent.

A Royal Mail spokesman said figures for Oxford and the county would be released at the end of the week.
