Deputy editor of Local Government News and LocalGov, Thomas Bridge, has been named in the MHP '30 To Watch' list 2014.

Thomas was selected by a panel of senior journalists for his continuing coverage of the 'bedroom tax'.

Thomas said: 'I am immensely proud to be recognised in the MHP "30 to Watch" list. I wish to thank the judging panel alongside my fellow writers at LocalGov, TheMJ.co.uk and the Transport-Network, who continue to lead the way on local government journalism.'

Editorial director of Hemming local government, Michael Burton, said: 'We are delighted that Tom's hard work has been recognised. LocalGov has gone from strength to strength and Tom has made a huge contribution to its success.'
