Local Councils Department Internet Home Page

The Local Councils Department, in the Ministry of Justice and Local Councils, announces the introduction of its Home Page on the Internet.

The Home Page site, established and presently maintained with the assistance of the Department of Information, can be found on the Government server - Magnet - and the address is http://www.localcouncils.gov.mt/

The Home-Page is intended to be a further step in providing the citizen, through Internet, with all there is to know about the way Local Councils work.

Local Councils' Home-Pages can also be directly accessed through the Department's Home Page.

The Home Page contains information about the structure and operation of Local and Regional Democracy in Malta - a detailed package on all aspects of the Local Councils Act (Act XV of 1993).

The Home-Page also offers data on each particular Council such as names of Mayors, Council Members, Secretaries, telephone numbers and fax numbers. Details of election dates are also included.

Furthermore, the user can have a look at, and print, a detailed spreadsheet on Councils' past and present Financial Allocations.

Other pages include a description of the Department's mission statement, objectives as well as the organisational structure.
