“This is a testament to the way in which the political leadership of the Council, senior management, and staff work together, and with local partners, to deliver services of the highest quality. I am delighted that the Council is receiving such public recognition of its successful work to make the Vale of Glamorgan a better place to live, work, and visit.”
