Caerphilly County Borough Council’s catering team has been nominated for four awards by the Local Authorities Caters Association (LACA).

The LACA awards honours individuals and teams of people who make a difference in school catering.

Among the award nominationsfor the service are the Welsh Sustainability Award, which recognises a team’s ability to manage waste and recycling, and the Welsh Catering Management Award, which recognises outstanding contribution to local authority catering.
