Watch out for the fancy dress Posties today

Newtown's Royal Mail workers will be out on the streets and at the town's delivery depot today in fancy dress raising money for the town's food bank.

So far they have raised £1,800 for the food bank which is run by the Newtown Salvation Army and other groups and charities in the town.

This is on top of the more than £7,000 they have raised for the NHS.

Today is the last Thursday they will be dressing in a range of costumes while delivering mail.

Newtown thanks you for all your hard work, along with other essential workers and NHS staff in the town and throughout the area for keeping our services going.
