WYRE Forest MP Mark Garnier has visited Royal Mail’s Kidderminster delivery office to pass on Christmas wishes and encouragement to postmen and women at their busiest time of year.

Mr Garnier was shown around the office by Scott McGeough, delivery sector manager, and was introduced to the postmen and women who are working hard sorting and delivering mail in the run-up to Christmas.

Mr Garnier said: “It was great to meet postmen and women at Royal Mail’s Kidderminster delivery office and see first-hand just how much effort they put into delivering for people at this time of year.

“Our postal workers do such an important job at this time of year and help to deliver Christmas for many people and families in our area.

“I would like to thank them for their efforts and wish them all the best over the busy festive period.”

Mr McGeough said: “Our postmen and women are working extremely hard to deliver Christmas cards, letters and parcels to people across Kidderminster. We are grateful that Mark visited the office to see our operation and to support the team during our busiest time of year.

“We would like to remind our customers to post early so that friends and family have longer to enjoy their Christmas greetings.”

The last recommended posting dates for Christmas are Thursday, December 18, for Second Class, Saturday, December 20, for First Class and Tuesday, December 23, for Special Delivery.

Customers can also help Royal Mail ensure that all their letters, cards and parcels are delivered as quickly and efficiently as possible by taking a few easy steps including posting early, using a postcode and using special delivery.
