€1.2 million investment to refurbish Imdina’s playground

Oct 18 2021

Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Capital Projects Ian Borg has just announced that the children’s playground outside Imdina will be getting a €1.2 million refurbishment. The works are set to start in the coming days, with the space frequented by many Maltese families set to receive a more colourful setting and safer infrastructure for children to enjoy. The site has allegedly already been closed off for works, with Borg stating that there are being advances in the playing equipment.

He said that the government cannot let this inadequate playground remain in its outdated state. He highlighted how Mdina’s local council proposed the refurbishment, which, according to the Minister, displayed the civic sense of responsibility the council has towards its residents. The area is an immensely popular site for both Maltese families and tourists – providing temporary relaxation following a tour of Malta’s old capital city.

Law Enforcement Minister calls to allow police officers with tattoos

Oct 18 2021

In what could be a revolutionary post for Malta’s national security, Minister for Law Enforcement and Home Affairs Byron Camilleri has said that it is time for the police corp to update its views on tattoo in the force. Camilleri said that through a strategic transformation into the Police Corp, a positive change is taking place to have a more inclusive and modern force which also represents society even more.

The Minister said that it is time for another big change to take place, which will see the Police Corp employing officers who have tattoos. He said that no talent should go to waste just because someone decided to get a tattoo, but this should still occur with clear regulations. Many, including some in the force, have called for such a change to occur and it seems as though Malta is moving in that direction. We’ll have to await for more information as to how this measure will come into place, but officers will seemingly get the chance to work and enjoy the body-art form.
