DEDICATED Wyre Forest postmen and women have been thanked by councillors for their first class Christmas efforts.

Wyre Forest Council leader, Councillor Marcus Hart and Chairman, Councillor Stephen Williams, visited the Royal Mail delivery office in Kidderminster this week to thank the hard-working posties going the extra mile to deliver mail during the busy Christmas period.

They were given a tour of the office by Delivery Office Manager, Lorraine Williams.

Councillor Marcus Hart said: “At no other time is the hard work and dedication of postmen and women clearer than during the festive period. There is a huge amount of effort and dedication that goes into delivering a first class Christmas all over the country.

Councillor Stephen Williams said: “I’d like to thank the postal workers at Kidderminster’s sorting office for letting us see first hand the great work they do over the Christmas period to ensure our parcels and post get to us on time.”

Lorraine Williams said: “Our postmen and women will be working extremely hard to deliver Christmas parcels, cards, letters and parcels to people in Wyre Forest.

"We are grateful that both Councillor Hart and Councillor Williams visited the office to see our operation and to support the team.

“We’d like to remind our customers to post early this Christmas and to ensure all their mail is posted by the recommended dates, so that friends and family can enjoy their Christmas greetings and parcels.

"If everyone uses the postcode on every item of mail, this also helps us greatly in the job that we do at this very busy time.”
