Congratulations to Denmead Parish Council, winners of the competition in 2010 and 2011 who were placed second this year, and to Bramley Parish Council who took third place.
Local MP Steve Brine says: “It’s a cracking site and I love the fact it is 100% compatible with my iPhone which was very useful the other night when I was looking for something while working late in the Commons.”
In the Hampshire ALC Communication Awards for the Best Local Council Newsletter, sponsored by Microshade VSM, Botley won first prize, with Tadley as runner-up. Last year’s winner, Denmead, was placed third.
Hartley Wintney clerk Leah Coney, last year’s runner-up, won the Kirk Shield for Clerk of the Year 2012.
