We are still over the moon from last night’s win! 🥳🏆 Haven't heard the news? We were crowned the Most Improved Council in the UK at the Local Government Chronicle (LGC) Awards! This is a massive achievement that reflects the incredible progress our borough has made in recent years. Huge thanks to our dedicated staff, elected members, and partners – you made this possible! 👏 A key driver of this success has been the expansion of digital services. By making council services more accessible online, we've improved access and outcomes for our residents. This is just the beginning, and we're excited to continue building a brighter future for our borough. 🚀 🌟 #ProudToBeWalsall #LGCAwards #MostImprovedCouncil #WinsForWalsall

Work has successfully been completed to tackle flooding issues at Grenfell Road Allotments! 🌿🚜 Through our corporate social responsibility programme, we teamed up with Brownhills Asphalt Tarmac Ltd who stepped in with their plant machinery to dredge the site in December 2024. This crucial work involved clearing unwanted vegetation and silt from the brook, ensuring that water can flow freely and reducing the risk of flooding for the foreseeable future. A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this happen! 👏 ➡️ Interested in getting involved in our corporate social responsibility programme?
