Mike Penning attends Mail Centre Open Day and Flag Raising!
11th April 2013
Local MP Mike Penning attended the Royal Mail Home Counties North Mail Centre open day on Monday 1st April and took part in the ceremony to raise the Union Flag.
Royal Mail employees and constituents of Mike had been in touch to ask him to back calls for a flag pole at the new mail centre.
Mike said:
“Following the sorting office’s move from Park Lane to the new Mail Centre in Maylands, I was contacted by some Royal Mail staff who said they ought to have a flag pole at their new base.
“I am delighted to say that when I raised it with Royal Mail they were wholly supportive and as a result we now have a new flag pole with Union Flag flying in Maylands.
“Royal Mail is a great national institution and I am delighted that they have based their Mail Centre in Maylands and I am delighted that we have such a large and prestigious employer based in the town.
“I had an enjoyable visit on Monday and I commend the work put in to make the Open Day such a huge success and the fantastic amount raised for Prostate Cancer UK.”
