Municipality stalls reopening of departments after police call for thorough inspection
The municipality was geared to open its licencing department, alongside other departments like town planning, this week Wednesday but the same afternoon, police notified the municipality to remain closed till a diligent inspection of the facilities could be done.
The municipality has been working hard the past two weeks to disinfect the entire civic centre to allow the soft opening of certain public services, like the licencing department.
The licencing department has thus far been open to issue essential services permits, but on Monday the department will be open to the public to renew licences and related services.
The updated municipal services to the public include the rates halls, for the payments of accounts and purchase of electricity.
