Western Isles MSP, Alasdair Allan, today paid a pre-Christmas visit to the Lochmaddy Royal Mail Delivery Office in North Uist where postmen and women were dealing with the Christmas mail rush.

Alasdair Allan commented:

“This was officially the busiest day of the year for the Royal Mail and I took the opportunity to visit Lachlan MacLeod and the other posties in Lochmaddy to pass on my best wishes for the massive task ahead. I actually managed to visit them before the plane arrived in Benbecula with the post, but they were clearly braced for the usual Christmas deluge of cards and parcels!

“The Royal Mail do a great job, not least at this time of year. The Lochmaddy Delivery Office will continue to be busy between now and Christmas providing a first class service to the islands!”
