The locality of San Lawrenz was previously chosen by the European Commission to be tested on its sustainability, according to the report commissioned by the Local Council.

Ms Hester Menninga, a member of the Reference Framework for European Sustainable Cities (RFSC)-testing team, recently spent a day with the San Lawrenz Mayor, Noel Formosa, the Executive Secretary and also representatives of MEPA and the Office of the Prime Minister to observe the developments of the report and the locality.

Apart from the technical sector, which was discussed in detail during this meeting, Ms Menninga had the opportunity to be taken around San Lawrenz to experience the reality of the local way of life. She was shown the area’s natural beauty and also the rural aspects and the particular identity of the village.

During tthe visit, Ms Mennings also had the opportunity to be welcomed by a family from San Lawrenz, who showed her the produce that they produced from their own garden.

Mayor Formosa underlined the importance of this process. “This tool, which we were given to test our sustainable development, will assist us to reach the goals that the Local Council has created for our locality.”

In this process MEPA and the Office of the Prime Minister are also monitoring the Council, and are keeping an eye particularly on the technical aspect of this project.
