Royal Mail has upset residents of a Devon town by refusing to deliver post along a "dangerous" cobbled street.

The regular postman refused after slipping on Bilton Terrace, in Bideford, before Christmas.

A Royal Mail manager then visited the terrace and told residents deliveries were being suspended because the lane was too slippery and uneven.

One angry resident, 53-year-old Sally Bellamy, described Royal Mail's action as "absolute madness".

Post is now delivered to Miss Bellamy's home at the bottom of the 280-year-old lane and she then delivers the packages and letters through her neighbours' letterboxes.

She said everyone was angry with Royal Mail and wanted the deliveries reinstated.

"They say 'it's too dangerous to walk on, it's slippery, absolutely lethal', but I don't have a problem and nobody else seems to have a problem"

Wont be long before you go to local central points to collect your mail. Theyre not going to deliver to places out on their own, thats the next step
