There are plenty of great local authority services – and what better place to promote them than through The MJ Local Government Achievement Awards 2009 – whose deadline for receipt of entries on 16 January is fast approaching. Councils and their partners will need to complete their entries of up to 2000 words and a summary, when they return from the seasonal break. There are 16 categories: Best Achieving; PPP; Children's Services; Energy Efficiency; Regeneration; Reducing Health Inequalities; Legal; Councillor Development; Facilities and Asset Management; Public Protection; Most Effective Political Team; More People, More Active, More Often; People and Workforce; Service Innovation in Health and Social Care; Diversity; Sustainable Transport Strategy. Entry is free and entry forms can be downloaded from www.localgov.co.uk/mjawards, or for inquiries, contact Mandy Murray on 020 7973 6668 or e-mail m.murray@ hgluk.com
