Royal Mail deliveries AXED in seaside village after terrified posties are forced to take drastic action
POSTIES are dodging deliveries in a street where aggressive seagulls keep dive-bombing them. There have been so many attacks that villagers have been asked to collect their letters from the depot or get them delivered elsewhere. 2 2 The birds are said to have been nesting in Wright Close in Caister, Norfolk, for a decade. But experts say they are particularly aggressive at this time of year as they are protecting their chicks. It has led Royal Mail to tell staff not to feel under pressure to make deliveries in the street. Villager Marion Gibbs, 75, said: 'I was out walking and a gull hit me on the head.' Chairman of Caister Parish Council Kevin Wood said: 'I get dive-bombed when I'm walking my dogs. I put an umbrella up. People sometimes put spikes on their roofs, but that doesn't work. 'It happens all over Caister. There's nothing we can do.' A Royal Mail spokesman said: 'The activities of seagulls in the area is, at times, making it difficult for our postmen and women to safely deliver to some addresses. 'We are still attempting deliveries. Customers can nominate a different delivery address or collect their mail from the delivery office.'
