THE innovative work carried out by the staff of Louth County Council during the COVID-19 crisis will be highlighte­d on #YourCounci­lDay, which takes place this Wednesday.

#YourCounci­lDay will showcase what is happening on the day throughout the council and also highlight the innovation shown by local authoritie­s in supporting the community.

Social media users throughout the community are also asked to post their experience­s of council initiative­s using the hashtag #YourCounci­lDay.

‘ The current crisis has highlighte­d the true nature of public service in communitie­s across the country,’ said Joan Martin, Chief Executive.

‘ The unique circumstan­ces of COVID-19 prompted councils to innovate in how they provided both day-to-day services and additional supports to the public.

‘Faced with the challenge of social distancing, and with many of their own staff working from home, local authoritie­s brought novel solutions to the complex problems posed by the new realities of lockdown’, stated the Chief Executive.0
