ANOTHER bag of undelivered mail has been discovered the Daily Echo can reveal today. For days a full bag of post waiting to be delivered to Southampton residents has been left languishing on a doorstep in the city.

Just after we revealed how a bag of mail had been dumped in the street, a second bag has now been discovered. Dozens of parcels, bills and letters have been sat in the porch of a Woolston home waiting to be delivered for three days.

As owners of the Archery Grove property, David and Gillian Lickman allow Royal Mail to use their lockable porch as a storage space for any extra bags of post that need delivering.

In the past bags have been left by the company around 7pm and collected by a postman within hours. The couple say they have noticed a steady decline in the service culminating with a bag delivered on Saturday not being picked up until four days later.

Mr Lickman, 56, said: "We have been allowing Royal Mail to use our porch for ten years. I have never known it not be collected before - the service is turning into a shambles. It's not the inconvenience to us that bothers me but all the bills and letters that are just sitting in that bag."

The Lickman's reported the unclaimed bag but no one from Royal Mail has returned their call, advising them just to continue storing it.

Royal Mail said they had no explanation for why the bag had not been collected but that an investigation would be launched
