The recently introduced Local Enforcement System (LES) website not only allows the public to pay fines from home, or their work place, but also if they decide to contest the charge.

It also enables the public to ascertain what the minimum and maximum fines are.

The new payment gateway on the website makes it easy to pay outstanding contraventions online.

The website also includes a search facility and a Contact Us page, available in English and Maltese.

Users can log on to www.gov.mt and click on "Law and Order", and under the section marked "General", click on Local Enforcement System.

The government portal www.gov.mt also contains information on the local tribunals and local councils.

For warden tickets, one has to enter the Contravention reference number in the Contravention number field.

For police tickets, the user has to enter the ticket number in the police ticket reference field and the vehicle registration in the vehicle registration number field.

Once the correct information is entered, the "Search Now" button has to be pressed to display the relevant information or one has to press the Reset Button to clear details and start again.

e-Government media officer Gabriella Briffa Darmanin said: "The new online services are free of charge and one of the benefits of the electronic system is having 24 hour access to government transactions and services. Apart from improving efficiency, the e-Government Programme is also helping in streamlining the public services."
