Together, we are making the next leap forward for present and future generations.”

These projects focus on open spaces, regeneration of gardens and playgrounds, and the development of more accessible infrastructure, among other initiatives.

From her end, Parliamentary Secretary for Local Government Alison Zerafa Civelli welcomed this collaboration between the Public Works Department and the Local Councils Directorate.

She concluded by commending the work being carried out by the Public Works Department in collaboration with Local Councils and also commended the Local Councils who are participating in this initiative.

This project represents an investment of approximately €3 million, funded by European Funds through the Recovery and Resilience Programme.
