Brighton: Royal Mail depot evacuated after fire

Royal Mail said all staff were safe and no mail had been damaged.

“There may be some disruption to deliveries and collections today and tomorrow due to some vehicles being damaged,” a spokesperson added.

On Thursday, an application to build a new postal distribution centre in Patcham was approved by Brighton and Hove City Council.

The site will replace the current offices in North Road and Denmark Villas, Hove.
