Mr Beggs said: “It was great to meet postmen and women at Royal Mail’s Larne delivery office and see first-hand just how much effort they put into delivering for people at this time of year. It was also useful to learn directly of the issues affecting our local postal services.
“Our postal workers do such an important job particularly at this time of year when so many parcels and Christmas cards are delivered locally for many people and families. I would like to thank all the local postal staff for their efforts and wish them all the best over the busy festive period.”

We are grateful that Roy visited the office to see our operation and to support the team during our busiest time of year.
“We’d like to remind our customers to post early so that friends and family have longer to enjoy their Christmas greetings.”
