Kenneth Lawrie, Chief Executive:

This is just a quick message to thank you all for your incredible efforts during Storm Eowyn. Crises like these really show just how vital council services are and how crucial your work is in keeping them running.

The storm brought many challenges, especially for those working in difficult conditions to maintain essential services. Thanks to your hard work, we were able to care for our vulnerable, support our communities, carry out critical repairs, and clear roads to ensure safety. Your efforts were crucial in helping council services return to normal as quickly as possible.

To everyone that braved the storm, directly helped residents, and worked tirelessly behind the scenes on Friday and over the weekend, your dedication and teamwork have been outstanding, and your commitment is truly appreciated.

Thank you again.
