COUNCILLOR Tony Muldoon, a Whitehill town councillor and chairman of East Hampshire District Council, visited Royal Mail’s Bordon delivery office to pass on Christmas wishes and encouragement to postmen and women at their busiest time of year.

Mr Muldoon was shown around by the delivery office manager who introduced him to the legions of posties who are working hard sorting and delivering mail in and around Bordon during the festive season.

“There is a huge amount of effort and dedication that goes into delivering a first-class Christmas at Royal Mail’s busiest time of year,” Mr Muldoon said. “It was great to meet the team here at Bordon.

“Our postal workers do such an important job at this time of year and I would like to thank them for their efforts and wish them all the best over the busy festive period.”

Alison Seal, Royal Mail delivery office manager at Bordon, added: “Our postmen and women are working extremely hard to deliver Christmas cards, letters and parcels to people across Bordon.

“We are grateful that the chairman visited the office to see our operation and to support the team.

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

“We would also like to ask everyone to please always use the postcode as this helps us greatly in the job that we do at this busy time.”

The last recommend posting dates for Christmas are – second class (December 19), first class (December 21), and special delivery (December 23).
