Alok Sharma, the Member of Parliament for Reading West, visited Royal Mail’s Reading West Delivery Office today to pass on Christmas wishes and encouragement to postmen and women at their busiest time of year.

Mr Sharma was shown around the office by Delivery Office Manager, Simon Foster, and was introduced to the postmen and women who are working hard sorting and delivering mail in the Reading West area during the festive season.

Alok Sharma said: “It is always a pleasure to visit the Reading West Delivery Office and to meet the team working hard to deliver a first class Christmas at Royal Mail’s busiest time of year. Our postal workers do such an important job all year round and I would like to thank them for their efforts and wish them all the best over the busy festive period.”

Simon Foster, Royal Mail Delivery Office Manager at Reading West, commented: “Our postmen and women are working extremely hard to deliver Christmas cards, letters and parcels to people across Reading West. We are grateful that Alok visited the office to see our operation and to support the team.

Simon continued: “We’d like to remind our customers to post early so that friends and family have longer to enjoy their Christmas greetings. We would also like to ask everyone to please always use the postcode as this helps us greatly in the job that we do at this busy time.”

The last recommend posting dates for Christmas are:

• Use a postcode – A clearly addressed card or parcel, with a postcode, and return address on the back of the envelope, will ensure quick and efficient delivery.

Alok Sharma, the Member of Parliament for Reading West, helped kick-off Christmas celebrations in Theale this weekend by helping to judge the ‘Best Christmas Window’ competition.

The theme of the competition this year was ‘A Christmas Carol’, with shops being judged on their creativity, impact, theme and effort. Alok joined three other panellists to judge the competition, including a longstanding Theale resident and two pupils from Theale Green School.

Winning the competition was ‘Frame Direct’, a bespoke framing specialist shop, who were presented with the coveted Best Christmas Window shield. Florists ‘Croppers in Bloom’ and charity ‘Mercy in Action’ were both highly commended.

Father Christmas also made a special appearance, switching on the Christmas lights on Theale High Street and set up a grotto for children to visit him and receive a gift. The High Street was closed to traffic for a large Christmas market, which included a host of Christmas-themed food and gifts.

Holy Trinity Church made a special contribution to the evening’s events by staging a traditional Nativity play featuring local primary school children and real donkeys, while the choir sang carols in The Volunteer pub.

Alok Sharma said: “I was delighted to attend Theale Parish Council’s superbly organised Christmas event, many thanks to Parish Council Clerk Jo Friend and all the parish councillors and volunteers who helped to make the evening a wonderful success. I thoroughly enjoyed judging the best dressed window competition, which was very highly contested, so congratulations to the winners, Frame Direct. Thanks also to all of the pupils from Theale Primary School who took part in the Nativity play, which was a confidently delivered and sublime performance by all!”

Jo Friend, Theale Parish Council Clerk said: “We were delighted so many people braved the weather to join us at the Christmas Lights event, which included the biggest Christmas market to date. A big thank you also to Alok, who has been very supportive of Theale, for doing a brilliant job judging the Best Christmas Window competition.”

This year marks The 50th celebration of the Race relations act.
The act was drafted in direct response to the hostility and discrimination shown to Black and asian immigrants who were faced with all kinds of prejudices with regards to work, housing and equal opportunities.
The successful boycott of a bus company in Bristol led to the emergence of The Race relations act in 1965 which then became a turning point for change.
The Activist, Paul Stephenson played a very major role at the time.
This week, I was approached by BBC RADIO to compose a poem to mark the 50th Anniversary of the Race relations act.
