BUDLEIGH Salterton Scouts are preparing to help beat the misery of any festive postal strikes by lending a hand delivering Christmas cards.

The youngsters are to team up with scouts from Exeter to deliver the annual charitable festive postal delivery - which this year expects bumper deliveries because of the uncertainty over deliveries.

Budleigh's Scouts will help the Exeter Scouts deliver the cards across the city.

Scout deliveries are also made to Budleigh Salterton.

Letters and cards can be posted at shops in and around the city, listed at www.exeterscoutpost.org.uk, from November 14 until December 12.
