South Lanarkshire Council said it was aware of the alleged situation and is 'conducting a robust investigation into the matter'.
Royal Mail has suspended deliveries to a tower block in South Lanarkshire after two postal workers were reportedly threatened by a tenant with a dog. Residents of Clyde Tower in East Kilbride have been notified their mail will now have to be collected from their nearest Post Office, around a mile away. Royal Mail said an occupant threatened a postie in May, which included threats to use a dog.
Royal Mail said the decision was not made lightly, but the postal firm had to prioritise the safety of its workers. A spokesperson said: 'We take the welfare of our posties very seriously and, where necessary, will take steps to ensure their safety. 'We will continue to assess the current exemption, however, it is our priority that posties are able to carry out their duties without fear of violence.
