Congratulations to ...
Council worker of the year - Margo Cunningham 
Described as ‘carrying out her role in a very understated manner’ and considered to be an excellent ambassador not only for her department but for the council as a whole, she has made her mark with a range of national professional organisations and is well respected by them all for her engagement, commitment and promotion of training and professional development. Recently recognised by the General Teaching Council for Scotland when she was presented with their Professional Recognition Award for the Accredited Coaching Diploma programme that she has developed and jointly delivers.
Team of the year - Environmental Health Service 
The Environmental Health Service has recently undergone structural and cultural change amalgamating the Food and Safety and Environmental Protection teams. Performance Indicators were revised and these have now become a useful validation tool for service delivery standards published in a Service Charter.
