‘ 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
