In the video Mayor Dave said "One of the things I look forward to at this time of year is a visit to the busy Post Office delivery office to thank the local posties for their hard work throughout the year. Of course, this year a visit isn't possible, so I've made this video to say a big thank you, from me, from the Borough Council and I'm sure on behalf of all of our residents.
