Clean Ups Across Malta For World Clean Up Day 2024

Sep 17 2024

A series of clean-ups will be organised across Malta and Gozo as part of World Cleanup Day 2024, with 46 local councils benefiting from €65,000 in funding to support these activities.

This marks the second year of a financial scheme tied to the global initiative, which brings together millions of volunteers, governments, and organisations to tackle waste and promote a cleaner, more eco-friendly environment. World Cleanup Day 2024 will be celebrated on Friday, September 20.

The participating local councils will use the funds to organise clean-ups and waste collection activities in their communities throughout September.

The initiative aims to improve public spaces, including streets, gardens, beaches, and open areas.

Minister for National Heritage, Arts, and Local Government, Owen Bonnici, emphasised the significance of this effort, stating, “It sends a clear message about environmental responsibility and the importance of maintaining clean public spaces.”

Parliamentary Secretary for Local Government, Alison Zerafa Civelli, added that the project raises awareness of the need for cleanliness in public areas, noting that “a clean and healthy environment positively impacts human health and helps reduce illness.”

The initiative is designed to unite communities in promoting environmental change and to highlight the importance of maintaining a clean and healthy environment.

Man Admits to Leaving Drugs on Helena Dalli’s Doorstep

Sep 17 2024

In court today, a 31-year-old from Santa Venera, admitted to threatening European Commissioner Helena Dalli and other Maltese radio personalities. It was on July 31, that Travis Xuereb, left a basket containing drugs and a threatening note at the Dalli family residence in Marsascala. The family’s lawyer expressed their fear and requested protection.

In court, he claimed that he had seen boxer Conor McGregor leaving the residence and intended the basket as a “gift” for him, unaware that it was the Dalli family’s home. He insisted he did not mean to cause personal harm. Xuereb has a history of similar incidents, including threatening radio personalities and harassing a woman earlier this year.

His defense stated that Xuereb suffers from severe mental illnesses and has been hospitalised multiple times at Mount Carmel Hospital. Magistrate Yana Micallef Stafrace ordered a psychiatric treatment plan and issued protection orders for the Dalli family and others involved. The court will issue a sentence after a presentence report is completed.
