MP
thanks Posties!
Fiona
Bruce MP was given a very warm welcome when she visited the Congleton Sorting
Office to thank postmen and women for their hard work at Christmastime.
Fiona Bruce said “I
had a fascinating time at Congleton Sorting Office learning how our post men
and women sort and deliver letters and parcels. I was particularly impressed to
hear that by taking no holidays in the weeks up to Christmas they work
incredibly hard to get the post in our post boxes delivered to our homes for
Christmas before Christmas day, and aim to have the whole sorting office clear
by then!”
Fiona continued “The
number of items delivered and the increase at Christmas time are staggering –
this week they will deliver 300,000 items to 19,357 addresses in Congleton
which will include 28,000 parcels and next week that total number will rise to
half a million items! All of this is done by the regular 68 staff with no
additional help!”
“What also impressed me
was the very positive atmosphere in the sorting office – it is clearly a pleasant
place to work with a real emphasis on serving the public well.”
Fiona Bruce concluded “A huge thank you to all
our dedicated postmen and women for their incredible dedication, hard work and
reliability in all weathers.”
