Council Leader's festive message
As 2024 draws to a close, I tend to reflect on the year just gone and think about home and family and I’d like to take a moment to appreciate all those who go the extra mile to help make all our lives better, safer and happier.
In the Council we pride ourselves on having such strong communities, where people care and look out for each other, but we couldn’t do our jobs without the commitment and dedication of our partner organisations and willing volunteers who provide wonderful opportunities all year round. Thanks to them, our communities can gather, learn and enjoy all sorts of activities and life skills and well as build confidence and overcome loneliness and isolation.
Getting out there, joining in with others, taking time to help someone less fortunate, can do ourselves and our communities the world of good.
From me and my family to you and yours, I wish you all the best possible Christmas and a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.
Councillor Douglas Reid
