This is the first time the Local Land Charges team at Westminster City Council has won an award in this category, the team has picked up trophies four times before winning the Best Performing NLIS Level 3 LLC Department in 2010, 2013 and 2018. In 2017 the team was awarded the Best Performing LLC Department of the last 10 years Award, a special Award created to mark the 10th anniversary of the Awards.
The team’s Head of Service told us that they have recently moved into an open plan working environment, “The days of Local Land Charges Officers remaining hidden behind a very large cupboard are long gone! Members of the team are experts in gastronomy and advise colleagues in other services where they should go to eat and drink locally- Chinatown and Oxford Circus being special areas of their expertise. Local Land Charges Officers also appear to be the best travelled of any other group of officers working for Westminster Council - must be all that detailed data work and checking complex addresses! Anyone planning a holiday is best advised to get their holiday plans checked out first with Local Land Charges before they book!
