Councillor Jonathan Owen, leader of East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “Throughout the country, our local authorities have seen a real change in work practices brought about by the pandemic, so with the interconnectivity between us, Hull City, North East Lincolnshire and North Lincolnshire councils and the University of Hull, it has really shown how well we have adapted and reacted through this project.
“And for this work to be recognised with this national award, it is an honour and privilege.”
Brigette Giles, head of digital, change and technology at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, added: “Our team has not only been proud to have led on this innovative project, but is prouder to have won this prestigious award with our partners at the three local LEAs and the University of Hull.
