A COUNCIL has been named as one of the country's 100 most visionary organisations.
Sunderland City Council is one of only six local authorities nationwide to be listed in the BT Vision 100 index, a showcase of the UK's most visionary public and private sector organisations.
It was recognised for its services and its progress in making the city a centre of culture, sport and tourism.
The judges were particularly impressed with the £320m transformation of the city centre and community involvement in the £13.3m Mowbray Gardens revamp. Council chief executive Colin Sinclair, said: "We're delighted to have been included among the UK's top 100."
