AN ARMY of young posties from Kidderminster are getting ready to provide their annual seasonal postal service for the community.

Kidderminster & District Scouts will be delivering Christmas post from the 27th year to areas around Kidderminster, Cookley, Wolverley and Blakedown.

Stamps cost just 20p each but help raise much-needed funds for local scout groups. These stamps will be on sale from Saturday, November 25 till 4pm on Friday, December 15.

All post boxes will be green and will be found at outlets including The Balloon Shop in Coventry Street, Lifestyle Express on Ferndale, The Village Shop in Wolverley, Boots the Optician’s, Chapman & Myres at Rowland Hill Centre, John Beards, The Hub at Town Hall, Wyre Forest House on Stourport Road, Cost Cutter on Marlpool Estate and many others.

A full list of these will be available at the Town Hall Hub and Library.

People are urged to remember not to post letters for outside the area – especially if they are addressed to Santa Claus – as they cannot be delivered.

Anyone wishing to get information on where boxes are based or where to buy stamps can ring Joan Nutland on 01562 823609.
