The last year has been the most exceptional and extraordinary period that we have ever seen… Covid 19 meant that it’s been really difficult to plan, resource and deliver a service of this nature, which is arguably the most important the Council has, as it affects some 20,000 residents of the Borough.

We’ve coped with continual lockdowns, poor winter weather and numbers of emergencies, and… seen continued levels of very good satisfaction, with good co-operation and communication. So from myself and RBK, here is a massive thank you. Well done!”
