MSP Gives a Thumbs up to Thank his Postie

On National Postal Workers Day (29th April) Stewart Stevenson MSP has given a thumbs up to his postie and postmen and women across Scotland for their hard work during COVID-19.

More than ever, the Royal Mail is playing an important role in communities, delivering parcels and letters to keep the country together during this crisis.

For the most vulnerable who do not have the option to leave their homes, postmen and women have been delivering essential prescriptions and hospital appointments. The Royal Mail also recently announced that they have been chosen as a key partner in the delivery and return of coronavirus tests to NHS and social care frontline staff up and down the country.

The North-east MSP is urging everyone to give a thumbs up to their postie to say thank you to our local postal staff and as a handy reminder not to reach out to try and take parcels directly from postmen and women as the Royal Mail moves to contact-free delivery. He said:

“Royal Mail postal workers have continued to serve our communities across the North-east throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and deserve to be properly recognised and thanked for their hard work.

“One simple way of paying tribute to our Postal Workers and recognising their contributions is by ensuring we give them a big thumbs up for all that they are doing to keep Scotland connected.

“Coronavirus has highlighted exactly who our key workers are, and how essential they are and I think it’s paramount we show our gratitude to them."
