Dear Sir,

As a resident of Aycliffe Village I would like to say, on behalf of most people, and myself in the Village, that we are very lucky to have our lovely, caring, kind Postman, Tony.

He always has a smile and a kind word for everyone, as well as giving a helping hand if needed.

He is also known for noticing if someone may need help and asks their neighbour if they have seen them recently, so they can check to see if they are all right.

He has such a lovely community spirit, and it is a pleasure to have him around.

Name and address supplied.
