Stafford residents plagued by late U.S. Mail deliveries
Stafford County has been experiencing delays from the U.S. Postal Service with residents receiving their mail weeks late.
The Postal Service has stated that these delays were a result of the combination of the increased online orders from people staying at home and a decrease in staff because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Stafford Board of Supervisors addressed these delays at their meeting on Feb. 2 and continued discussion at their meeting on Feb. 16.
At the Feb. 2 meeting, Hartwood District Supervisor Gary Snellings said that the delays had become a serious issue in the western part of the district.

Virginia health officials say hope is on the horizon, not necessarily because more COVID-19 vaccines are coming, but because the state has developed an easier, more consistent way for people to register for them.
On Friday, the Virginia Department of Health announced that a centralized registration system will open Tuesday morning and provide a âunified and comprehensive processâ for residents to sign up for the vaccine. Instead of registering through one of the 35 different local health districts across the state, people throughout the commonwealth will be directed to one portal.
Those who have signed up already will not have to register again, as their forms are in the process of being moved to the centralized site, available at vaccinate.virginia.gov. Since Friday evening, state workers have been importing the existing lists and removing duplicate forms or those for people whoâve already been vaccinated.
