Hard-working council staff have been thanked by the Provost of Aberdeenshire for their continuing efforts and commitment to supporting north-east communities during the pandemic.
Councillor Bill Howatson has written an open letter to all of the local authority’s workers to show appreciation for their dedication, from grounds and landscape personnel, to teachers, to frontline staff with the Aberdeenshire Health and Social Care Partnership.
He wrote: ““It’s been more than five months since our lives were transformed by the global outbreak of coronavirus and, while we are certainly making progress in stemming the spread of Covid-19, we are far from returning to normality.
“As a council, we have had to adapt quickly and efficiently to ensure the majority of our services continue as far as possible which has meant changes across the board.
“I am both hugely impressed and humbled by the resilience and dedication we, as a local authority, continue to demonstrate.”
