Lucy Powell MP visited the East Manchester Sorting Office to meet with dedicated postal workers and hear first-hand about their experiences. Posties provide an essential service, trusted by the local community to reliably deliver letters and parcels across the city.

Their role is especially crucial during the busy Christmas period, ensuring that cards, gifts, and important deliveries arrive on time for the festive season. Despite the rise of digital communication, Royal Mail remains a vital part of the national fabric, and the work of postal staff continues to be highly valued.

During the visit, posties raised concerns about workload pressures and increasing demands, highlighting the challenges they face. Postal workers play a crucial role in communities, and Lucy will continue to support them and ensure their voices are heard as part of Labour’s commitment to standing up for working people.
