Cllr Paul Spooner, Leader of Guildford Borough Council, said: “The APSE awards recognise that we are implementing innovative ideas, and developing new ways to deliver local services - all while under increased financial pressures. I am proud that we have been selected as finalists in these prestigious national awards”

James Whiteman, Managing Director of Guildford Borough Council, added: “We are delighted to have made it to the finalist stage in three different categories. Our service teams work tirelessly to keep our borough clean and tidy, and we have recently increased our recycling rate again to almost 60%. The teams deserve this recognition for their continued hard work.”
