Lib Dem councillors shortlisted for the Annual Cllr Awards

By | Thu 24th October 2024 - 2:46 pm

Back in August I was reminding you to nominate someone for the 2024 Councillor awards – actually that should be Cllr Awards – organised by the Local Government Information Unit.

The shortlists have just been announced for England and Wales and for Scotland, and I’m pleased to say there are two Lib Dems in the running.

Councillor Clare Apel is shortlisted for the Lifetime Legend Award. Clare has served for 25 years on Chichester District Council, where she is Chair of the Council, and she also sits on Chichester City Council.

Councillor Julia Neden-Watts is Joint Deputy Leader of Richmond Council and has been nominated for Innovator of the Year. She chairs Richmond’s Environment, Sustainability, Culture & Sports Committee.

The winners will be announced on 20th November.

Good luck to both of them!
