Greetings
On behalf of the Deputy Mayor and Councilors of the New Amsterdam Town Council, we wish to express thanks to the citizens of New Amsterdam for their support during the Local Government elections, resulting in a new body being elected that will seek to address the needs, concerns and issues affecting the citizenry.

I can assure you that, ever since we assumed office, we have been working assiduously to alleviate matters and issues. I am aware that we have not achieved much, evidence of works being undertaken continuously can still be seen as we strive to return this century old township, to its former glory.

However, the town can only return to its state of cleanliness if residents cooperate with the municipality by keeping their respective environment clean, having drains dug, desisting from littering and, most importantly, paying taxes in a timely manner. It’s a long hard road, but we must work hand in hand for the common goal.

This, being my first message to you, I wish to encourage you to get onboard as we take New Amsterdam to higher heights which will make us proud of this place we call home. In our next edition, I will introduce the Deputy Mayor and fellow Councilors which represent the seven constituencies. It is our hope that you become aware of your respective Councilors, so your matters can be resolved in a timely manner.
Until the next issue, let’s contribute to the development of the town.
