LGiU and CCLA are delighted to announce the 2012 shortlist for the C’llr Achievement Awards.
With over 250 entries, it was the strongest field of candidates to date. We were inspired by all the entries –particularly to see so many great examples of where councillors have made a huge difference to their communities. But, we couldn’t shortlist everyone. Here is who we thought were most inspiring.
Winners will be announced at a ceremony on February 27th.
