## Resource

Mail delays are hitting hard on Redhill Avenue in Kirkby, leaving elderly residents like 78-year-old James Sullivan and his 88-year-old wife Catherine—fighting cancer—stressed and anxious about missed medical appointments and vital correspondence. With some neighbors reporting weeks without mail, including wrong deliveries and lost birthday cards, Royal Mail admits “local resourcing challenges” are to blame, promising new hires to restore service. For now, locals just hope their mail returns to normal soon. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
