I am expecting a parcel

All deliveries including letters and parcels are delivered to Central distribution directly.

Letters can be collected from the pigeon holes in Central Distribution reception and these are sorted by surname. Important letters such as passports, driving licences, DBS checks and bank cards will be kept behind the reception and you will receive an email to notify you that it has arrived and is ready for collection.
