APSE performance networks award winners 2011

Local Councils were celebrating their success as APSE announced the winners of the best and most improved performers in frontline services at a special awards event, held in Blackpool, on Thursday 1 December. 

Commenting on the awards Mark Bramah, APSE’s assistant chief executive said: ‘With decreasing budgets and increasing demand on public services the winners of this years’ APSE performance networks awards show that these councils are  performing better each year in public service delivery’   

Bramah added ‘Many areas of the public sector could benefit from the work pioneered in local government in performance benchmarking and management.  These winning and finalists councils have taken performance management to the heart of frontline services .  They know that they are amongst the best performers in local government on service cost and service quality. These attributes are critical in delivering affordable but effective local public services and they should be rightly proud of their outstanding achievements’.
