We are very pleased that The Open Innovation Exchange has reached the finals, albeit in a different category to the one it was nominated in!

I think the FixMyStreet initiative is also brilliant (and deserves to win something) so I am relieved that they are nominated in two categories, the one we are in and \'Modernising Government\'. I hope they win \'Modernising Government\' and leave \'Contribution to Civic Society\' for us!

Word on the street is that Andrew Burns should succeed in the Elected Representative category because he is the only one that does it all himself.
