“It not only delivers on Camden's local priorities, delivering better solutions for residents and businesses, it is also a ground-breaking blueprint for the future delivery of public services in a time of huge budget pressures.
“Through initiatives such as the Camden Account, our innovative use of open data and our new shared ICT and Digital Service we are helping to transform the way our residents and businesses engage and interact with us.
“This award is a resounding endorsement of the work of our staff to provide more effective services for all our citizens.”
