Alicia Kearns MP has encouraged residents to show their appreciation for Post Men and Women who are working hard to keep people connected during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Royal Mail launched the initiative yesterday and is asking people to say thanks with a thumbs-up from a safe two-metre distance – just over the height of a postbox.
For many people, their local postie will be one of the few friendly faces they see each day and it is also hoped the idea will remind people to not reach out and take parcels to ensure contact-free delivery.
The move comes as postmen and women across the UK have been inundated with thank you messages and pictures from children and customers.
