The MJ is delighted to announce the finalists of The MJ Local Government Achievement Awards 2020, with a full list of the luck shortlisted councils available at awards.themj.co.uk or in our ebook. 
The announcement of the 100 strong list – in 18 award categories – was due in March but postponed due to coronavirus.

The MJ Awards 2020 gala night to reveal the winners, should have taken place in June, but it too was delayed. Instead, we will be holding a virtual awards ceremony at 2pm, 2 October – so get the dates in your diary and join us for the big reveal.

Full details on how to register for the awards will be on our websites awards.themj.co.uk or themj.co.uk soon, or watch out for detail on our LinkedIn page or via our Twitter feeds at @themjcouk or @TheMJAwards.

The MJ editor, Heather Jameson, said: ‘Many congratulations to all our awards entries, and thank you for all your patience while The MJ Awards have been on hold during lockdown.

‘We had a huge number of fantastic entries to the awards, which showed the enormous dedication of local government staff to their communities. I really hope you will join us for our virtual awards on 2 October.'
