A series of municipal measures have been introduced to improve services, following observations by the National Audit Office.

In its response, the Ministry of Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture said it provides BD13,000 in financial support to eligible families under the Cities and Villages Development Programme, in coordination with municipal councils.

Applications are processed through an electronic system with set guidelines aimed at ensuring transparency.

Safety

Inspection campaigns have also led to the removal of around 480 abandoned vehicles from residential areas to improve safety and public appearance.

In addition, 12 municipal sites have been allocated across the Kingdom to support mobile food businesses, with applications available through digital platforms.

To regulate the sector, coordination has been strengthened with the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to track licences issued through the Sijilat system.

Environment

On the environmental side, a dedicated unit has been established to monitor the quality and sustainability of trees and green spaces.

Plans are also in place to expand production at Adhari Nursery in the coming years.

A technical study on licensing car shades outside homes has been completed, with implementation measures currently under way.
