The current local council members are:

Dawret ix-Xatt (Strand By-Pass)
Triq Ħaż-Żabbar (Zabbar Road)
Triq il-Fortizza tal-Grazzja (Grazzia Fort Street)
Triq il-Knisja (Church Street)
Triq it-Torri ta' Alof de Wignacourt (Alof de Wignacourt Tower Street). This road refers to the Santa Maria delle Grazie Tower that Knights of Malta erected in 1620 during the reign of Grand Master Fra Alof de Wignacourt, which was one of the set of Wignacourt towers. The British demolished the tower to clear a field of fire for the Della Grazie Battery that they constructed in 1888.
