A COUNCIL legal team has secured national recognition for its service for the seventh year running.
Sedgefield Borough Council's legal department is the only district authority in County Durham to retain the National Law Society Lexcel Quality Accreditation for seven years.
Council leader Bob Fleming said: "The retention of this award over a period of seven years is a notable achievement for the council and demonstrates that we continue to meet, with consistency, the high standards of the Law Society's National Quality Mark."
