South Kesteven District Council have recognised armed forces veterans for the work they have taken on for the council during the Armed Forces Week 2021. 

 

The veterans are part of the council's enforcement, CCTV monitoring, senior project management and marketing teams, and housing team. 

 

Council leader Councillor Kelham Cooke said: “As a committed signatory to the Armed Forces Covenant, we recognise and appreciate the range of skills displayed by our staff who have served with the Armed Forces.

 

“Armed Forces Week represents an opportunity for us to take pride in our military community. We have all had occasion to thank our servicemen and women for the critical roles they have played in our vaccination and test and trace programmes as we battle our way through the pandemic.”

 

Two of the veterans were recognised for their exemplary work in monitoring the district's CCTV system. 

 

One team member explained: “CCTV is critical in helping to keep the district safe. We have to be meticulous on detail and follow strict procedures as our reports can be used as evidence in prosecutions. The skills we learned in the Army definitely help to ensure the job gets done properly.”
