Shop criticises Steam Packet over newspaper disruption

Tuesday, 16 July 2024 10:55

A shop in Port St Mary says it's written to its local MHK to complain about the Steam Packet Company after more disruption to newspaper deliveries.

This morning, Torden Stores on Bay View Road in Port St Mary, shared an email from GE Whites saying there'd be no newspapers on Sunday because of ferry schedules and maintenance.

Instead, a small amount of UK Sunday papers will be delivered on Monday.

The shop says it's seen disruption to Sunday newspaper deliveries for three weeks and described the Steam Packet's service as "disgusting".
