Municipality services delivered at doorstep

MUNICIPAL licences and other services in the Southern Governorate will be delivered right to people’s doorsteps through a mobile unit.

The Southern Municipality, in co-operation with the municipal council, has launched the ‘Municipality Service at Your Door’ which will allow people to complete their municipal transactions at their homes.

Following the success of a trial period, 16 services will be provided from a single vehicle, such as building licences for simple additions of less than 50 metres, some service licences and addresses, delivery of testimonials and certificates, following up on violations and receiving complaints, amongst others.

“A fully-equipped vehicle contains a computer linked to the municipality’s systems, allowing an employee to complete the transactions,” said the municipality in a statement yesterday.

“The vehicle also contains official forms which residents can use to fill in the required data to obtain a service – all in front of the applicant’s home.”

The new service is aimed at the elderly, those with disabilities, the sick, pregnant and others who meet the conditions.

For details, the municipality can be contacted on 17986304.
