Barbuda’s public services are delivered mostly by the Barbuda Council with input from the Antigua government in national issues such as social security, medical benefits and education. Barbudans run their own administration day to day, collecting their own taxes to deliver these essential services.
The Council has administration local government offices in their main building and in the fisheries building where other departments are based and full Council meetings are held. There is also a Council Vehicle Licensing building at the old airport where local driving licences and other Transport Board administration is carried out on Barbuda. There is a workshop for the repair and maintenance of Council vehicles. There is a Land Office, a Tourism Office and a local government Social Security office. There are many other aspects of the Council’s work shown in more detail on other pages of this website including health services and early childhood education.
