I’d like to thank the judging panel and everyone who has entered or submitted a nomination for an award.  We’ve enjoyed reading the positive comments from solicitors who applaud those local authorities going above and beyond to deliver an excellent customer service, as well as noting the detail behind the digital data projects being carried out alongside the day to day work in local authorities.
