Awards winners

Announcing the finalists and winners of the APSE performance networks awards 2017!

Each of this year’s winning councils has shown an exceptional commitment to frontline service provision and are brilliant examples of how measuring and comparing services can lead to real change. Finalists and winners in APSE Performance Networks Awards 2017 recognise 'Best Performers' and 'Most Improved Performers' across frontline local government services on a range of cost and quality performance indicators, promoting excellence and continuous improvement.

Debbie Johns, Head of Performance Networks said, “Performance information is critical now more than ever. As local government faces ongoing austerity, using Performance Networks data helps to demonstrate the strides frontline services are taking, helping them to continue to deliver vital neighbourhood services. I am delighted to see local councils celebrating their achievements."

APSE Chief Executive Paul O’Brien said, “The winners and finalists of these awards are stunning examples of what local government is capable of achieving. That is not to say austerity is not hitting councils hard because it's is, however these winners and finalists are proof that in spite of the challenges local councils are using innovation and efficiency to continue to deliver superb local services"

The winners of the awards were presented by radio presenter Lorna Bancroft on Thursday 7 December at the APSE performance networks seminar 2017 in Blackpool.

Congratulations to all finalists and winners!
