A postman has been hailed as a ‘local community hero’ after dozens of residents in a Cumbrian village nominated him in a contest to find someone helping make the county a better place to live and work.
Family firm Lake District Estates teamed up with Cumbria Community Foundation to launch the county-wide search for a 'local community hero', by asking people to nominate individuals they believed deserved special recognition for making a difference in their local communities.
Village postman in Moor Row, Garry Walker, received dozens of nominations from locals who feel he goes above and beyond to support them day-to-day.
Not only was Garry described as an exceptional postman who is friendly, helpful and efficient, residents say he takes the time to check on elderly and vulnerable neighbours, shows genuine concern if anything looks ‘out of the ordinary’ and actively supports local businesses - and all with a smile on his face!
The winner’s presentation took place at Moor Row Primary School and was attended by pupils and staff, members of the local community, and some of Garry’s colleagues. Garry said: “I just want to thank everybody for nominating me. I can’t believe it to be honest and I just didn’t expect this. Thank you!”

"Employers are always seeking more productivity from workers, without considering the human factor, the worker's age, the weather conditions and the intense heat. We need to intervene before it's too late, reducing working hours and the load carried by workers, because it's impossible to sustain the rhythm they're forced to work at for many years."
