As we come to the end of a very long week and hopefully the start of a busy new week preparing for Mother's Day, St. Patrick's Day, etc., a huge shout out to all the Emergency Services, County Council workers, Voluntary Organisations, community groups, farmers, plant hire operators, business people, individuals and everyone who has worked tirelessly throughout Storm Emma. While it's been a very challenging few days for everyone, small businesses have been hit particularly hard. Please show your support for our wonderful small local businesses over the next few weeks and months, we'd be lost without them! Take care on the roads over the coming days as the snow and ice melts and here's hoping for a busy, sunny season ahead!
