Council looks to clear up at national awards
Telford & Wrekin Council is looking to clear up at a prestigious national awards.
The annual Local Government Chronicle Awards recognise the very best in council services across the UK.
Telford & Wrekin Council has been shortlisted for four awards, including an overall nomination for the top award, Council of the Year.
Other awards that the council have been shortlisted for include:
•LGC Public Health – for tackling health inequalities linked to COVID with Betty the Bus
•LGC Economic Support – for the Pride in Our High Street programme
•LGC Children’s Services Award – for the work we’ve done to achieve outstanding services as judged by Ofsted
Leader of the Council, Shaun Davies (Labour) said: “People who live and work in our borough deserve the very best from their council.
“We work tirelessly to deliver excellent public services whilst maintaining the lowest council tax in the Midlands, and set the bar really high last year, winning Co-operative Council of the Year and APSE Council or the Year amongst a host of other awards.
“We will always work hard to be better and the ultimate test is what residents and businesses think of us, but to be shortlisted for top awards yet again shows that there really is something special happening in Telford & Wrekin.
“I am so proud to lead an authority which is on the side of residents and continues to be recognised nationally for its innovative work.”
The full shortlist can be found on the Local Government Chronicle’s website. Winners will be announced on Wednesday 20 July 2022.
