 “I am delighted to announce that the City of London Corporation received Gold in the Small Local Authority category and the Overall Winner award at the Chartered Institution of Waste Management Clean Britain Awards 2015. The Clean Britain Awards recognise the work of local authority street scene teams in keeping our public places and spaces clean and safe, for everyone to enjoy. The Gold Award for Small Local Authority and the Overall Winner Award are both the highest levels achievable and demonstrate the City Corporation’s ability to provide service innovation and deliver new campaigns, initiatives, and prevention measures.

I am also delighted to announce that in February 2016 the City of London Corporation was named Local Authority of the Year by Keep Britain Tidy. This award rewards the City Corporation’s excellence and innovation in improving local environmental quality and enables us to share our good practices with other Keep Britain Tidy Network members.
