ROYAL Mail’s delivery operations in Bacup and Todmorden are set to be moved to Rochdale.

But residents will still be able to collect any undeliverable mail from offices in Bacup and Todmorden.

Royal Mail said the changes were part of “efficiencies” and providing “fit for purpose delivery offices”.

There will be no compulsory redundancies as part of the plans.

A spokesperson said: “This is part of Royal Mail’s ongoing transformation of its business and work to increase the efficiency of its operation as well as providing delivery offices that are fit for purpose for staff and customers.

“As a commercial business, Royal Mail is responding to the huge growth in electronic communications and decline in letter volumes, while seeing a high volume of parcels and online shopping which need to be delivered to customers.

"There will be no impact on deliveries to customers and there will be no compulsory redundancies."
