I WOULD like to thank the Royal Mail team from Grays for their excellent and courteous service over the Christmas period and during the recent atrocious weather.

All parcels and letters were received on time with nothing going astray.

I hope others, including our local MP, appreciate this invaluable service and that Ms Doyle-Price will oppose the Government intention to sell off Royal Mail.

Happy New Year to all our posties! – B BROOKS, Byron Gardens, Tilbury.
