Blantyre City Council has noted with dismay illegal developments mushrooming in the City. Some of these illegal developments are hanging of banners, installation of signposts and bill boards, excavating trenches to install cables and other facilities, rearing of livestock, fixing advertising materials on walls, trees and poles and playing loud music to advertise goods, services and for any other purposes.

Blantyre City Council offers a number of services at a reasonable fee. This is one of the revenue collecting avenues for the Council.

Blantyre City Council has received several complaints of robbery in maize fields in the City and surrounding areas. The malpractice is attributed to the availability of a market for green maize in the City.
