The year 2013 is a milestone for The MJ Local Government Achievement Awards – their tenth anniversary. Since they were set up in 2004 to recognise and promote the best work of local government managers and staff the awards have expanded to become one of the premier ways of recognising and praising innovation in local government while the annual awards night is now a highlight of the networking calendar.
ADSO is proud to once again jointly sponsor along with Weightmans Solicitors the Democratic Services Team of the Year Award.
A judging day took place in April 2013 and we are pleased to announce that the following Authorities were shortlisted:
- Buckinghamshire County Council
- Cherwell District Council and South Northants Council
- Cheshire West and Chester
- Lancashire County Council
- Plymouth City Council
- The City of Edinburgh Council
The London Borough of Waltham Forest and Stoke on Trent City Council were also commended.
The winner will be unveiled at the Awards Ceremony on 20 June 2013 and we look forward to sharing the best practice of all those shortlisted and commended authorities with colleagues in the future.
