Hackney was the big winner at the Local Government Chronicle's annual awards ceremony on 24th March, picking up three of the prestigious industry awards, more than any other Council.
The borough won top prize in the Children's Services, Employee Engagement and Place of the Year categories, as well as being second in the Council of the Year category. The borough was also a finalist in the adult social care category for Personalisation and Choice.
The Council's elected Mayor Jules Pipe and Chief Executive Tim Shields were joined at the awards ceremony by the Borough Commander Chief Superintendent Steve Bending, the Principal of Hackney Community College Ian Ashman and the Chief Executive of the Shoreditch Trust Michael Pyner.
In its write up of the night the LGC said; 'The biggest winner on the night was Hackney LBC who took home 3 awards.
Children's Services for a strategy that demonstrated a scale of ambition underpinned by a clear philosophy and a well structured delivery as well as showing a clear evidence of impact.
Employee Engagement for the strong emotional connection employees have with the borough and its people, both in their strong vision for the future, and in the involvement of staff across the organisation.
And finally Place of the Year for their ability to demonstrate again and again how their focus, partnerships, strategic and political leadership has made a real difference on the ground.'
