2018 is starting well with a visit from the Mayor of Gonyeli Municipality, one of the local government authorities in Nicosia. The Mayor and his team of senior officials are participating in an intensive two-day exchange visit to update themselves on various aspects of local government development in the UK. Their visit will include briefing sessions and discussions with mayors and key counterparts in the London Boroughs of Westminster, Enfield and Redbridge. The delegation plans to use the information and ideas to contribute to the reform programmes currently underway in local government in northern Cyprus.
