Congratulations to all Finalists & Commended
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.
During the last decade hundreds of innovative council services have been recognised as winners, highly commended, finalists and commended. Across the UK hundreds of foyers, shelves and office walls proudly bear the trophies of The MJ Awards. And the winning entries themselves have become recognised by their peers as leaders in service delivery.
With local authority budgets under continuing pressure the need to find even more innovative ways of providing services without increasing costs is a challenge that councils have met head-on. Our awards promote this vital mix of creativity and dedication and in particular give due praise to the teams who make it happen because good services rely on the people who produce them.
Thank you to all those that submitted nominations. All finalists and commended are now listed under Finalists
