Local Government Award Northern Ireland 2011

The Local Government Awards Northern Ireland showcase the best examples of service provision, new initiatives and outstanding commitment from councillors, councils and officers. The awards offer public recognition and award excellence for all those who shape and deliver front line local government services. The categories are designed to acknowledge innovation, individual commitment and highlight our best working practices, providing at the same time opportunities for those working within local government - a chance to step forward and shine.

Following the success of last year’s Local Government Awards, the award partners have opened the process for nominations for the 2011 awards.
