Closure datesÌý

• The ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Mail Service will close at 14.00 Thursday 23rd December and re-open at 07.00 on Tuesday 4th January.
• There will be no access to the Post Room between these dates. The last collection of departmental post will take place between 11.30 and 13.00 on Thursday 23rd December to ensure dispatch on the last working day.

As with previous years, the Post Room will be extremely busy during the pre-Christmas period, as Departments look to clear their desks for the seasonal break. To ease the pressure on the team, we ask all staff to adhere to the cut-off dates detailed above.

May we take this opportunity to wish all staff a happy and peaceful Christmas break.
