In Trinidad, municipal corporations are responsible for the building and maintenance of local roads, bridges and drains, collecting garbage, maintaining parks and community facilities, issuing building approvals and overseeing public health and sanitation. The Tobago House of Assembly is responsible for these services in Tobago.
Each Municipal Corporation in Trinidad is responsible for developing and maintaining the physical infrastructure for the communities that fall within their jurisdiction. The corporations provide the following services:
- Construction and maintenance of roads and pavements (excluding main roads and highways).
- Construction and maintenance of drains and watercourses (excluding main watercourses and highway watercourses).
- Construction and maintenance of bridges on secondary roads and state traces.
- Provision and maintenance of street signs for secondary roads and state traces.
- Naming of streets and numbering of houses
Requests for the provision or maintenance of community infrastructure should be submitted to the corporation’s CEO or the Councillor responsible for the area concerned. The request will be forwarded to the Municipal Corporation for consideration and will be placed on a programme of works if recommended by the Council.
