Council awards

Award winning council

Tower Hamlets has a reputation for innovation and best practice which has been partly achieved through repeated success in high-profile national awards schemes. These achievements give Tower Hamlets national recognition, positive publicity and help to improve public services through the sharing of our ideas and approaches with other local authorities.

Benefits of winning awards

At times there can be cynicism about the benefits of winning awards and celebrating innovation. After all, excellent public services are only what residents deserve and expect. But there are some real benefits to seeking out and rewarding best practice:

• Raising Tower Hamlets' reputation, both with residents and other local and national organisations which can benefit Tower Hamlets in terms of partnership opportunities, investment opportunities, and recruiting staff - all of which benefit local people.
• Publicising and sharing the good work of authorities all around the country, so that they can learn from each other and continually improve.
• Recognition of the hard work of our staff.
