Labour’s main priorities in council work are the protection of the environment, social issues and youths. Sant pointed out that after three years of participation in local councils, a unanimous decision was taken to give each of the 200 Labour councillors an active role within the Party.

Sant said that Labour believes local councils should act on behalf of the citizens for the citizens, taking direct responsibility for the services being offered and thus strengthening faith in the councillors elected.

Amongst the councillors’ roles he listed their duty to understand the positive aspect of the local councils and to participate in the decisions reached within; the duty to understand the financial rules upon which contractual expenses are based; the right to have adequate training in order to fulfil their individual roles properly and the knowledge that the Local Council Association should represent local political forces in a balanced manner.
