That the Parliament recognises the work of the volunteer winter gritting team of Ashgrove and Stockethill Community Council; understands that the group was provided with gritting equipment, which was funded as part of an NHS Grampian project to reduce falls in the community; notes that, in a report published by NHS Grampian, there had been a reduction in the number of falls in areas where the volunteer winter gritting team operated during winter 2023-24, and that this reduction was estimated to be between 28% and 83% depending on the method of analysis used; thanks the volunteers at Ashgrove and Stockethill Community Council for their great work, and wishes them all the best.
