    The reopening of a village post office has been delayed as the trainer due to open the branch is self-isolating.

    Spondon Post Office in Derby has been closed for more than a year after it was blown up by cash machine thieves.

    About £70,000 was stolen when gas was used to cause an explosion at the business in Chapel Street in October 2018.

    The Post Office said it was trying to find another trainer.

    The branch was due to open at a new location at 13:00 today.

    During the post office's closure, the village has been served by a mobile postal service twice a week.
