 Hello, my name is Paul Marshall, I'm the leader for West Sussex County Council and I just want to do this short video just to wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year and however you're spending the season may you have peace and happiness. It's been another tough year as we've been experiencing the ongoing pandemic yet we have more hope than before thanks to the vaccine programme. We've been working hard to provide stability and planning for the future as well as responding to the pandemic. Your council is in a good place in terms of delivering vital services and looking after residents. I am looking forward to spend Christmas with my wife and daughters reflecting on the year that's gone and looking forward to the year that's coming. Once more I'd like to thank you all our residents for working together to keep West Sussex safe and looking after each other. Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
