Efficiency


The public sector is facing a severe funding cut in the coming years, and local government will suffer a significant portion of the cuts. With councils already making significant savings, they will need to become ever more creative to save further funds. This award seeks to promote councils that have found new and innovative methods to do more with less. Particular emphasis will be given to those that involve local citizens and achieve more user-focused services.
