MPs have visited delivery offices in York and Selby as postmen enter the busiest time of the year.

York Central MP Hugh Bayley met some of the postal workers at the Leeman Road Delivery office who are working hard to collect, sort and deliver letters, cards and parcels in time for Christmas.

“Postmen and women have become part of our Christmas tradition as they work around the clock in the days leading up to Christmas making sure everything is delivered on time,” he said.

Selby and Ainsty MP Nigel Adams, who met postal workers at Royal Mail’s Selby delivery office, said: “It was great to meet the dedicated, hard-working Royal Mail postmen and women at Selby delivery office and to see first-hand just how much effort they put into delivering for people at this time of year.”
