Royal Mail deliveries AXED in seaside village after terrified posties are forced to take drastic action
POSTIES are dodging deliveries in a street where aggressive seagulls keep dive-bombing them. There have been so many attacks that villagers have been asked to collect their letters from the depot or get them delivered elsewhere. 2 2 The birds are said to have been nesting in Wright Close in Caister, Norfolk, for a decade. But experts say they are particularly aggressive at this time of year as they are protecting their chicks. It has led Royal Mail to tell staff not to feel under pressure to make deliveries in the street. Villager Marion Gibbs, 75, said: 'I was out walking and a gull hit me on the head.' Chairman of Caister Parish Council Kevin Wood said: 'I get dive-bombed when I'm walking my dogs. I put an umbrella up. People sometimes put spikes on their roofs, but that doesn't work. 'It happens all over Caister. There's nothing we can do.' A Royal Mail spokesman said: 'The activities of seagulls in the area is, at times, making it difficult for our postmen and women to safely deliver to some addresses. 'We are still attempting deliveries. Customers can nominate a different delivery address or collect their mail from the delivery office.'

Camfil Breaks Down 2025 State of the Air Report with Accessible Explanations and Actionable Insights
06/18/2025, Riverdale, NJ // KISS PR Brand Story PressWire // Camfil, a global manufacturer of cutting-edge air filtration solutions, has announced the release of an educational guide that brings the critical findings of the 2025 'State of the Air' report by the American Lung Association to a wider audience. The analysis highlights urgent air quality challenges and how businesses can proactively address these issues with innovative indoor air quality (IAQ) solutions. The 'State of the Air' report revealed startling data on air pollution in the United States, citing that nearly 131 million Americans live in areas with failing air quality grades. The report identifies worsening air quality due to wildfires, extreme weather, and industrial emissions, and notes that communities of color and low-income populations bear a disproportionate burden. At the same time, Camfil highlights the need for immediate measures to ensure cleaner, healthier indoor spaces as Americans spend roughly 95% of their time indoors. Camfil's analysis explains the key findings of the report and equips businesses with practical approaches to improve IAQ, such as implementing high-efficiency particle filters and molecular filters that target harmful pollutants like ozone. Advanced solutions like HEPA filters and activated carbon filters are at the forefront of mitigating the dual risks of outdoor pollution infiltrating indoor spaces and excessive strain on HVAC systems. 'The findings of the 2025 'State of the Air' report are a reality check for businesses and policymakers. If air quality is compromised outside, it's critical to ensure cleaner, healthier air inside,' says Kevin Wood, Vice President, Manager of Marketing and Technical Materials at Camfil.

With an emphasis on actionable insights, Camfil also provides tailored solutions for businesses across sectors like healthcare, education, and manufacturing, ensuring they meet emerging IAQ regulations while fostering productivity and well-being.
