Councils throughout the UK were celebrating the best performers in local government front line services as over 400 representatives of local councils came together to hear the winners of the APSE performance networks awards 2008, announced by actress and TV presenter Denise Welch. The APSE performance networks awards formed part of a high profile seminar which explored best practice in performance management within the public sector including a guest speak from the USA city of Baltimore to explore how American cities count the cost and performance of their local public services.
