A Royal Mail spokesman said: “We can confirm there was a leak in the roof of the delivery office last Friday following the severe weather conditions. Certain deliveries continued but some were affected.
“The roof has since been assessed and due to the damage and the length of repairs necessary we’ve temporarily moved the operation to our delivery office in Brighton.
“We have been notifying customers of the change and are working hard to limit any further disruption.”
