Cllr Caroline Jackson has received a citation from the Clarence Barrett Award at the Local Government Association (LGA) Independents conference on the 24th - 25th of November.
The LGA is the national membership body for local authorities. It works cross-party on behalf of member councils to support, promote and improve local government. The Independent Group represents councillors in England and Wales who are Independent, Green or from smaller parties. It provides members with a voice at the national level and within the LGA to ensure that the values and interests of its members are represented.
The Clarence Barrett Award is the highest award presented to LGA Independent Group Members. The Award recognises those councillors who go above and beyond in their work, to contribute something significant to local government and residents.
Ellel Councillor, Sally Maddocks, who nominated Caroline said:
“I was proud to nominate Caroline because she has real strengths for this important national role - calmness under pressure; strong , responsible, collaborative leadership; and commitment to the local community and council.”
After the awards ceremony, Caroline said:
"There are over 1400 councillors in the Independent Group elected as either Green Party, Independents, or Residents’ Association councillors, and it is full of councillors who strongly represent their residents and get elected for their endless hard work. So I was really happy and honoured to receive this citation."
