Birmingham City Council, Bournemouth Borough Council, City of York Council, East Ayrshire Council, Oxford City Council, and Peterborough City Council were also nominated for the award.
West Lothian Council was also shortlisted in the Best Service Team: Building Cleaning and Facilities Management Service category and Best Service Team: Parks, Grounds & Horticultural Service.

National figures highlight that West Lothian Council is building more council homes than the vast majority of other Scottish councils. Congratulations to all of the staff who were involved in the projects.”
