Montgomeryshire AM, Russell George, has visited Royal Mail’s Newtown Delivery Office to pass on best Christmas wishes and encouragement to the postmen and women at their busiest time of year.
Mr George was shown round the Delivery Office by local Delivery Office manager, Mark Farrington and was introduced to all the postmen and women who are working hard doing their bit to sort and deliver the area’s share of the estimated total Wales postbag of more than 200 million items.
Mr George said: “It was great to meet the hard-working Royal Mail postmen and women at Newtown Delivery Office and to see at first hand just how much effort they put into delivering the Christmas post for people at this time of year.
“Posties do such an important job at this time of year and I like to thank them for their efforts and wish them all the best over the busy festive period.”
Mark Farrington, Royal Mail Delivery Office Manager at Newtown said: “Christmas is the busiest time of year and our people really do pull out all the stops to deliver the Christmas mailbag. We are pleased that Russell George AM came along to witness the hard work that goes on behind the scenes.”
Mr Farrington added: “The postal staff do a fantastic job at this time of year to ensure that friends and families stay in touch through their Christmas greetings and gifts. And as usual, we urge our customers to post early so that friends and family have longer to enjoy their Christmas greetings!”
