Keep those entries flowing in for The MJ Local Government Achievement Awards 2008 – there is still time before the deadline on 18 January. There are a record 16 categories in this year's awards, so there is plenty of scope for local authorities to enter their best services or projects. The commended authorities and finalists will be announced in March, and the final winners announced at the gala awards night at The Hilton Hotel in London's Park Lane on 26 June, before an audience of more than 900 people. You can download your entry form at www.localgov.co.uk/mjawards, or contact Mandy Murray by e-mail at m.murray@hgluk.com or telephone 020 7973 6668.
