#ThumbsUpForYourPostie
This weekend Mayor Dave Hodgson released a video thanking all our postal workers for working non-stop this year, throughout the Lockdowns. In the video Mayor Dave said "One of the things I look forward to at this time of year is a visit to the busy Post Office delivery office to thank the local posties for their hard work throughout the year. Of course, this year a visit isn't possible, so I've made this video to say a big thank you, from me, from the Borough Council and I'm sure on behalf of all of our residents. Thank you for working non-stop this year, throughout the Lockdowns, keeping open vital lines of communication, because despite this digital age, we also need the post! Thank you - and I wish you a Happy Christmas!" You can watch the video on Mayor Dave's facebook page here.
