In response to the overwhelming criticism of Ceredigion council in the letters to the Cambrian News last week, I wish to offer some perspective and to thank the council for helping to keep us safe over the last 18 months.

Gold Command was always a temporary emergency measure which is about to end. Although this measure gave the executive more control, they exercised that power responsibly and in a transparent way.

I know that the safe streets measures were not universally popular, but as a family we really appreciated the additional space to keep us safe in Aberystwyth town centre.

Indeed, we should never forget that Covid rates in Ceredigion were the lowest in Wales for most of the pandemic, thanks to the leadership shown by Ceredigion Council in partnership with other local organisations, together with the responsible actions of local people.

So, from me and my family, it’s a big thank you.
