Mission and Objectives

The Mission Statement and objectives are embedded in the Local Council Act - According to the Laws of Malta Chapter 363, a local council shall be a statutory local government authority having a distinct legal personality and capable of entering into contracts to the exercise and performance of its functions. Such functions include the upkeep and maintenance of any street, maintenance for cleanliness, maintenance of all public conveniences, maintenance of proper road signs in conformity with national and international standards, and opening of establishments for cultural and leisure centres. An important task is that all mentioned factors can be accessed by all members of society, including disabled and the elderly.

Main Projects / Activities

Apart from carrying out its mandatory duties, the council has also strived to increase local awareness regarding the wealth of historic and cultural assets that lie within its walls and surrounding cities. The Council has previously participated in the EU-funded DELTA project, which focused on the regeneration of historic urban cores, as well a in Youth exchanges and Town Twinning. More recently the local council has teamed up with partners in Greece Cyprus and Italy and has submitted a Cultural Itineraries proposal for the INTERREG IIIB Programme, as it believes that such activities will further help it place Malta and the locality on the international cultural map.
