City of Wolverhampton Council boasts several prestigious nominations as finalists in the Association for Public Service Excellence (APSE) Service Awards 2021, for its outstanding work serving residents across the city.
The APSE awards recognise the best in local government frontline services across the UK.
Award winners will be announced on Thursday, September 9, at the APSE Annual Charity Awards Dinner, in aid of Parkinson’s UK, at Birmingham’s ICC.
The Council is a finalist in the following areas:
City of Wolverhampton Council Leader, Councillor Ian Brookfield, said: “The pandemic has brought untold pressures on everyone and I am extremely proud of how we have responded as a Council.
“We have continued to deliver high-quality frontline services and more for local people throughout the crisis as a result of the dedication of the Council’s staff.
“Being shortlisted for several prestigious awards is amazing.
“All departments shortlisted as finalists are filled with staff who care deeply about what they do and have a real sense of pride in their work. The ultimate prize for the city is great staff, delivering day-in-day-out, for the people of Wolverhampton.”
APSE National Chair, Mark Pengelly, said: "The APSE Annual Service Awards demonstrate the extent to which, right across UK local government, councils are driving forwards on service improvements and placing quality at the heart of what they do. As a local councillor, I know only too well the value of our services to the public. It therefore fills me with enormous pride to see such high levels of ingenuity and dedication throughout the sector, especially in times as testing as these. A huge congratulations to all of the finalists and good luck!"
