Festive Message
Dear Colleagues,
As the year draws to a close, we want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your incredible hard work and dedication throughout 2025. This has been a year of real progress and achievement for our council and our community, and that’s down to you.
Together, we’ve delivered successful community projects, supported our residents and seen numerous awards for our services. These successes reflect not just your professionalism, but your passion for making a positive difference.
We know how much effort goes into what you do every day, and we are truly grateful. Please take time over the festive season to rest, recharge, and enjoy special moments with family and friends.
Of course, while many of us are on holiday from work several of our colleagues will continue to make sure essential services are running smoothly over the festive period. Your hard work in keeping these services going is very much appreciated by us and our residents.
On behalf of the Chief Executive, Civic Leader, and Council Leader, we wish you a joyful Christmas and a safe, peaceful holiday season. Here’s to building on this year’s achievements and making 2026 even better.
Thank you for everything you do.
Warm regards,
Cllr Kathleen Robertson, Council Leader
Cllr John Cowe, Civic Leader
Karen Greaves BEM, Chief Executive
