Adur & Worthing Councils have been shortlisted for a prestigious Council of the Year award - the second such recognition in 2020.
Leading local authority publication the Municipal Journal has today (Thurs) announced the Councils have been picked out by judges for the strength of their activities over the year. Adur & Worthing are joining big cities such as Bristol and Aberdeen on the shortlist for the prize category at the Journal's Achievement Awards.
Earlier this year Adur & Worthing Councils were also shortlisted for Council of the Year for the Local Government Chronicle Awards 2020. The Chronicle is another leading journal covering political and policy issues on local government. On that shortlist the Councils were the only district and borough authorities selected for the shortlist and, again, are up against much bigger city and metropolitan areas.
On the latest announcement, Cllr Daniel Humphreys, leader of Worthing Borough Council, said:
“I'm delighted by this news. It reflects fantastically well on Councils' staff and the innovative work they are engaged upon to serve our communities.”
Cllr Neil Parkin, leader of Adur District Councils, said:
“To be shortlisted once is fantastic enough for a council of our size but to be named twice in a year by the two leading journals that report and analyse local government is praise indeed.”
