Announcing the APSE Service Awards Winners 2019!

APSE are delighted to announce the winners of the APSE Service Awards 2019.

Speaking about the awards, the APSE Chief Executive Paul O'Brien said, "Not only do these awards recognise and promote individual achievement, they also provide an opportunity for best practice to be shared with other local authorities and organisations. In this way, councils’ hard work and dedication is used to deliver vital services to communities across the UK."

The APSE awards are specific to frontline services provided by UK local authorities. The awards are agreed by a panel of expert judges. This year, the awards included 22 categories, covering the vast majority of local services, as well as the prestigious Overall Council of the Year in Service Delivery Award.

The winners were announced at the APSE Annual Charity Awards Dinner, in aid of Parkinson’s UK, on Thursday 12 September 2019 in Newcastle. For more information about the APSE Annual Seminar 2019, click here.
