Register your interest for the APSE Annual Service Awards 2017!

Since our awards were launched over 16 years ago, local authorities from across the UK have demonstrated their ability to innovate within service delivery, demonstrate new concepts, showcase best practice, and continuously improve local services to our communities.

You have until the 17 March to register but, given the high level of interest in the awards, the sooner your register the better!
