The Association of Local Councils’ Executive Secretaries welcomed te budget’s initiatives aimed at creating more sustainable localities.

It said it appreciated the €4 million increase in the councils’ budget and said it was in favour of initiatives that were to be taken on sustainable development projects in localities, the Local Council Green Challenge Award and the Local Council Enterprise Support Award Scheme.

The ASKLM said it believed this investment should focus not just on capital projects but also on human resources within the council for a real improvement in residents’ standard of living.

The association said it believed this investment was the beginning of a process which should lead to a councils’ reform aimed mainly at the sustainable development of Maltese towns and villages.
