The Minister with responsibility for the South District Constituency, John Cortes, held the fifth South district ‘Town Hall’ meeting last week at the Central Hall. 

The meeting was attended by a cross section of residents and by officials from the Ministries of Environment and Transport. 

There was a great deal of constructive discussion on a range of matters including road safety, buses, green areas, the impact of Gibdock, refuse collection and issues in some of the estates. A number of site meetings with officials were arranged for the coming weeks and there was a commitment from the Minister to deal with the issues. 

Minister Cortes commented: “I find these open meetings extremely useful, as it gives an opportunity to my constituents to discuss matters of interest and concern to them, with each other and with my teams and me, often finding solutions collectively that may not have otherwise arisen. I am very grateful to all those who attended, and I am already looking forward to the next one!”
