"The shortlist for the 2024 Cllr Awards represents some of the most devoted elected representatives in Scotland.

"With councils working under enormous pressure, these Awards are a hugely important way to champion what councillors achieve for the places we live.

"Congratulations to all the councillors nominated and shortlisted and I look forward to announcing the winners in November."
