That this House expresses its gratitude and appreciation to those who responded heroically during the recent severe snowfall and its aftermath experienced in the North East of Scotland and dealt with severe travel delays, power cuts, road and school closures, weather-related injuries and the consequences of freezing temperatures; gives significant thanks to the many hundreds of workers in Aberdeenshire and Moray Council teams, local Health and Care Partnerships, Police Scotland, NHS Grampian, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, and many contractors, farmers and volunteers across the affected communities; recognises and commends the extra efforts made at airports and by public transport and utility workers in responding to transport network disruptions; and extends warm thanks to everyone who helped maintain the safety and wellbeing of so many vulnerable people during a period of sustained severe weather.
