Councillor Audrey Wales was shown around the office by Delivery Office Manager, Tony Curran, and was introduced to the postmen and women, who are pulling out all the stops to sort and deliver mail in the Larne area over the Christmas period in a ‘First Class’ fashion.

She said: “At no other time is the hard work and dedication of postmen and women clearer than during the festive period. I thank them for the extraordinary lengths they go to ensure Christmas cards and presents are delivered to loved ones on time, and for all they do year-round.”
