The leader of Caerphilly County Borough Council has praised staff for going “above and beyond the call of duty” during the recent bad weather.
Councillor Lindsay Whittle said: “Local councils are often an easy target for criticism when services are affected by severe weather but our staff have clearly shown that they are prepared to pull out all the stops to limit disruption to the community.
“There have been many examples of employees working around the clock, in very difficult conditions to deliver frontline services and I’d like to thank them all for their efforts.”
