A 'technical issue' on the part of the Post Office with e-mails led to a delay in the processing of vital winter support vouchers for entitled families in Stockport.
Post Office bosses, however, have now confirmed to the Manchester Evening News that the 'issue has now been resolved' and all 'affected e-mails are being resent'. Council bosses in Stockport issued a Twitter alert and sent messages to eligible families to inform them of the issue on Monday.
The council confirmed it concerned those with Gmail e-mail accounts registered with the council and said it was working with the Post Office to resolve the issue.
