We also worked hard to continue to provide critical services such as household waste collection, registration services and cemetery provision to residents in line with restrictions, during the height of lockdown. We remain committed to ensuring the safety of the general public and our staff, to continuing to deliver essential services to residents in line with restrictions and with the minimum of disruption and to supporting our local communities and businesses. Here we look back at key Council activity in numbers, since March.
