Arbuthnott Postie's Service to the Community

Lodged by Tess White Standard Motion 30 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises the efforts of Royal Mail employee Shona Brown, who has served the village of Arbuthnott, in the Mearns, for almost 25 years; believes that Shona is a role model, showing meticulous knowledge of the local area and the households in it, including the names of family members and pets; considers that her level of care and attention to detail have been invaluable to the whole community, especially during the COVID-19 lockdown, when she would regularly check on vulnerable residents from the safety of her van; understands that her friendly face is a treasured lifeline to some across the rural community, where loneliness and isolation can be an issue from time to time; further understands that her efforts are much appreciated by the village of Arbuthnott, especially the community council, and wishes Shona many more years serving her community.
