Deputy Chairperson, Oksana McMahon thanks Local Postal Workers

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council Deputy Chairperson, Councillor Oksana McMahon visited Royal Mail’s Newry delivery office to see first-hand the operation of delivering Christmas post and to pass on early Season’s Greetings to its dedicated, hardworking staff.

Councillor McMahon was given a tour of the office by William Massey, Delivery Office Manager and was introduced to the postmen and women, who will be pulling out all the stops to sort and deliver mail in Newry in the forthcoming busy Christmas period.

Councillor McMahon 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.

“It was great to meet the team here at Newry Delivery Office and thank them for the extraordinary lengths they will go to ensure Christmas parcels and cards are delivered to loved ones on time, as well as thanking them for delivering our mail services all through the year, in all weathers.”

William Massey, Royal Mail Delivery Office Manager, said, “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.”
