Paul Baker was praised for his ‘marvellous’ service after stepping down from the role. Acomb Parish Council vice-chairman, Charles Enderby made a presentation to Paul on behalf of the community on April 21, wishing him well for his retirement and thanking him for his service. He also received thank you cards and messages from the children at Little Oaks Nursery and Acomb First School. Unfortunately, current coronavirus restrictions on meeting others prevented a large turnout. Paul said he had thoroughly enjoyed being the village’s postmaster. On his plans for his retirement, he said he had a lot of work to do on his property.
