Man's mail misery as post delivered three times in six months due to dog | SWNS
A fuming householder claims the Royal Mail is refusing to deliver his post - because his dog is 'too loud.'
Neil Leaks, 62, says he has only had three letters in six months since moving into a new flat after his postman complained about ten-year-old Buddy's barking.
Mr Leaks, from Ipswich, Suffolk said he's missed doctors appointments and health documents due to this, and had to collect his Ipswich Town Season Ticket in person.
He said: "The first day I moved in, the postman came and my dog barked and he said 'your dog is too loud'.
"I put up a gate to be safe so Buddy wouldn't run out into the street and he would be kept inside when the postman came.
"He kept complaining and I just never received my post."
Mr Leaks claimed that other residents in his building have also gone without getting their mail, with one having to change their address to a neighbours to get an important delivery.
The dog owner continued: "I've done everything I can. I have put a gate up, I have kept the door shut, I won't let Buddy out in the mornings.
"I have had the area manager from Royal Mail over and she said Buddy was absolutely fine telling me there was no problem."
The Ipswich Royal Mail said that they have been delivering his post regularly 'when the dog is held back from the door' and Buddy can't reach the postman.
They confirmed the customer operations manager for the area has also visited the property three times and was aware of the gate.
They did highlight the postman has to open the gate to access the letterbox and said the post delivery issue only affected Mr Leaks.
A spokesperson for Royal Mail said: "We are working with this customer to resolve the situation.
"The wellbeing of our colleagues is our highest priority, and we will take the necessary steps to ensure their safety at work."
