NOMINATIONS are open for an awards scheme to highlight outstanding contribution from council employees and teams.

The Lewisham Pride Awards are divided into a number of categories including customer service, community responsibility, creativity and innovation and team of the year.

Lewisham mayor Steve Bullock said: “As a council it is vital we know where we are going wrong but it is equally important to know what we are doing right.” Entry forms, which must be returned by July 4, are available from libraries and council offices, or email nominations to pride@lewisham.gov.uk
