STAFF at Bury Council celebrated individuals and teams who work tirelessly to make Bury a great place to live, work and visit.
In last week’s annual staff awards, staff who go the extra mile in delivering good public services were recognised.
Pat Jones-Greenhalgh, interim chief executive, spoke of her gratitude.
She said: “Quality and standards are integral to achieving our goals and it’s incredibly heart-warming to hear the ‘whatever it takes’ stories which I believe reflect the personality of Bury Council.
"The pride our staff take in their work is clear and it’s important to recognise and show appreciation for the dedicated efforts of our workforce and volunteers. What we have achieved over the past year is truly remarkable.
"Our goal is to build ‘a better Bury’ and it’s everyone’s collective efforts that enable us to do that.”
Nominations for Bury Council’s Special Thanks and Recognition Awards (STAR) were open to the public as well as staff to vote for anybody who is employed by or who volunteers for Bury Council.
