Nevertheless the British administration decided that the organizations of the municipalities in Cyprus were inadequate and it was issued two regulations concerning the municipalities in 1880 and 1882. After 1885, some attempts were made by the government to form a selected Municipal Council but it was not accomplished, in that the selected Turkish and Greek members had different considerations concerning the municipality and presidency.
