I hope that we can all do our bit by posting our cards and gifts early.

Michael Hogg, Senior Public Affairs Manager at Royal Mail, said: “We are proud to have played our part throughout the pandemic, keeping the community connected. There’s no doubt it has been challenging, but we remain very grateful to our customers for their support and for keeping us so busy! Now we will be working even harder to deliver Christmas parcels and cards, so it was a real boost to have a visit from Pete Wishart to see the operation and to support the team.”
