APSE is pleased to announce the winners in this year’s Performance Networks Best and Most Improved Performer Awards.
One of the highlights of the local government calendar, this year the awards were announced at a special virtual ceremony on 8 June 2021.
APSE Chief Executive Paul O'Brien said, "APSE’s data benchmarking service allows local government to recognise those top performing authorities alongside those who are striving to continuously improve their frontline services. Right across local government our member councils are using our benchmarking data to manage reduced budgets, generate income, improve service performance and ultimately protect our local neighbourhoods.”
Congratulations to all of our finalists!
