Two Bexley Council projects have been shortlisted for national awards.
The Bexley First programme, which consolidated the former council sites into the new Civic offices, was nominated for the business transformation category for the Local Government Chronicle Awards.
The Local Colleges First programme is shortlisted for partnership of the year.
This scheme was developed to provide a local long-term education choice for young adult learners with severe or complex learning disabilities.
