Postal staff prepare for strike

Some 170 Royal Mail workers in Bristol are due to take part in a 24-hour strike on Friday.

Workers at the both the Montpelier and Whitehall depots will be striking, meaning that no mail will be delivered to the BS5, BS6 and BS7 postcode areas.

Workers at the Yate, Keynsham and Portishead depots have also voted for strike action and a further 11 delivery depots are currently balloting.

The results of the ballots will be known by the end of the month.
