Postal workers in Lincoln voted to end their unofficial strike and return to work on 26 March.

Up to 50 Royal Mail staff had walked out for a third successive day in a protest over what they said were changes to their working conditions.

The unofficial strike began on 23 March outside the sorting office on Firth Road, Lincoln.

The Communication Workers Union (CWU) has told the BBC that staff have agreed to go back to work on Thursday.

Staff had said they were unhappy about a range of issues to do with their working conditions, including sharing vans and changes in delivery routines.

Deliveries to the LN1-LN6 areas were disrupted.

In a statement, Royal Mail said the action was unlawful and changes were agreed with the unions two years ago.
