HIGH Peak Borough Council picked up the Local Government Chronicle Council of the Year Award at a ceremony in London on Monday night.
By my reckoning virtually every council in Derbyshire has won one bullsh*t award or another. Does anybody really care and who pays for the lavish piss up ceremony?
Judges were impressed with High Peak's regeneration of Buxton and Glossop by attracting large scale external investment, and the transformation of heritage buildings into economic use.
Cllr David Lomax, Leader of High Peak Borough Council, said: "This is a great achievement for all our staff and reflects the dedicated way in which they provide services to High Peak residents and visitors."
Good job they didn't ask about Pavillion Gardens.

Kill It, Cook It, Eat It
Viewers of BBC3 will tonight be able to watch a new series about what it takes to get meat onto plates.
Kill it, Cook it, Eat it will be shown over the next three nights at 10.30pm and will show animals being slaughtered in front of an invited audience that includes vegetarians, chefs and dedicated meat-eaters.
Filming took place at John Mettrick’s abattoir in Glossop, Derbyshire, where a TV studio was built especially.
Glass viewing panels allowed the guests to watch the slaughter of pigs, lambs and cattle before John butchered the carcases and a chef cooked the meat for the guests to try.
The programme makers said the aim of the programme was to educate consumers about a normally hidden process but there are signs this has been misinterpreted by newspapers.
The Sunday Mirror yesterday described the programme as a “new TV shocker”.
I didn't even know BBC 3 existed.
