No Use Empty – The Kent Empty Property Initiative, a project within Kent County Council’s Economic Development Unit (EDU), which was shortlisted twice in the following categories: Housing Initiative and Partnership of the Year were awarded “Highly Acclaimed” in both at the Grosvenor Hotel LGC Award celebrations on 11 March 2015.
In addition to this a further project in the EDU was shortlisted under Driving Growth category.
Mark Dance Cabinet Member for Economic Development at Kent County Council, said:
“The LGC Awards always attract hundreds of entries and recognise the most successful projects undertaken by UK local authorities in many different fields, so it is a real achievement for Kent’s Economic Development Unit to be nominated in three separate categories.
“To be nominated in the Driving Growth, Housing Initiative and Partnership Working categories underlines that we continue to explore new, innovative means of tackling the issues, such as housing, that are of great concern to Kent residents.”
