A fantastic event celebrating the best of Local Government. A wonderful opportunity to recognise the challenges which have been overcome and the passion for serving communities.

Thank you to The MJ for recognising local government. Much goes on behind the scenes that residents rarely know about, and therefore recognition can be rare. It is a huge morale booster for teams to be recognised, and a great showcase for the sector. You can see it really matters to people, and a fun event too.

If there is an award that you’d like to stand for then I suggest you use The MJ Awards very professional made you welcome and important and everything was perfect. The organisation in itself and the day were perfect and I would if involved always use this venue the food was well-presented everything ran on time and London is the perfect place for it to be held with the word Westminster it just added that special touch.

The awards are an excellent opportunity to showcase all the 'good practice' and inspirational ideas of local government across the country.

It is a fabulous way to celebrate success in Local Government.

This is a really important award that acknowledges the tremendous effort of those Teams and individuals on the ground working hard to support local communities often in the face of great challenges. The MJ's is an award that shows communities that the local authority does care and because it is a national award it is something that all concerned can be very proud about when they win!

Recognition of one's effort is a boost to do better. Such an event wakes up organisations to work even harder and better deliver quality services in their communities knowing fully well that someone somewhere is watching to recognise their efforts. It brings about going the extra mile to do better. It is a challenge to others too. The news is everywhere and the people and organisations who were not invited to the last award will work hard to compete with others to be recognised. It is an excellent event.
