Responses to Feedback Received from Public Consultation on the Proposed Amendments to the Town Councils Act

Dec 16, 2016

Consultation Period:
18 Oct 2016 – 17 Nov 2016

The Ministry of National Development (MND) held a public consultation on the proposed amendments to the Town Councils (TCs) Act from 18 Oct to 17 Nov 2016. We received inputs from Town Councils and members of the public on the proposed amendments. We also considered related feedback from emails from members of the public, mainstream and online media reports, as well as discussion forums such as REACH. 

We thank all respondents who have taken the time to contribute to the public consultation. We have studied the feedback and suggestions received carefully and will incorporate them in the amendments to the TCs Act as well as its implementation, where appropriate. A summary of MND’s responses to key feedback is enclosed at Annex A.
