THE Royal Mail delivery office on Pitt Street has closed until further notice due to concerns around a coronavirus outbreak.
The office, which underwent a deep clean on Monday following positive tests, has closed as a precautionary measure.
Mick Dunlavey, the treasurer at the Communication Workers’ Union (CWU), said: “This morning (Wednesday) on the grounds of safety the Barnsley delivery office will be closed. Cudworth and Grimethorpe will also close as a precautionary measure until full and comprehensive checks have been made.
“There will be disruptions to services but the safety of our people comes first.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
