I want to congratulate all of those on the shortlist for your significant achievements.” Four of the awards were judged live on the day of the event with delegates able to hear first hand from shortlisted councils. Ms Calkin added: “To those that have presented today thank you for taking to the stage to share your experiences, ideas and innovations. It’s what this event is all about.”
