YORK'S Lord Mayor has paid a visit to the busy Royal Mail delivery office, at the beginning of the Christmas rush.
Cllr Ian Gillies was shown round by Delivery Office manager Paul Wilkins and introduced to the postmen and women who are working hard sorting and delivering mail in the run-up to Christmas.
Cllr Gillies said: “It was great to meet postmen and women at Royal Mail’s York 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.”
Paul Wilkins thanked the Lord Mayor for visiting, and added: “We’d like to remind our customers to post early so that friends and family have longer to enjoy their Christmas greetings.”
The last recommend posting dates for Christmas are: Second Class – Thursday, December 18, First Class – Saturday, December 20, Special Delivery – Tuesday, December 23.
