The first citizen, Cllr Lindsay Millar, said: “It’s an honour for council to help celebrate all the hard work of all our emergency services. They all play such an important role in keeping everyone safe and it can often go by without hearing those words of thanks, so on behalf of council I would like to extend our gratitude to all the men and women who serve to keep us safe.

“The borough covers 400 square miles, with 62 miles of coastline, and many who live here in rural areas. This vast space means the work of the emergency services is always recognised here and we hope the public will also get behind this campaign.”
