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.
