All-nighter fixing Aldo Moro road following tragic incident

All-nighter fixing Aldo Moro road following tragic incident
Feb 18 2022 Share

Infrastructure Malta revealed that following the tragic incident which took the life of a Nepalese food-courier after a truck overturned, workers spent the night making sure the area is safe for use by drivers and other people.

The workers spent the night replacing the steel crash barriers which were damaged by the incident. All 10 lanes of the road were subsequently reopened for usage, with final repairs continuing later during the day yesterday. 

Aldo Moro is a main arterial route frequently occupied by commuters, especially during the morning and post-work rush. Many commended the work done by the authorities and the swiftness at which this was done.

Of course, the passing of Ajay Shrestha shook the entire island and the Nepalese community in particular. The repatriation of his body is currently being discussed as his friends and family require their beloved’s body for the funeral rite.

Feb 18 2022 Share

After the massive success of their previous collaboration ‘Hopes’,  ANT Mifsud & Luke Chappell are back with another catchy dance track, ‘Never Enough’! 

‘Never Enough’ is an uplifting, catchy and energetic track made to capture the attention of the listener. This is an infectious track that you can blast at full volume with the roof top down on a road trip or on a down on the dance floor.

ANT Mifsud says that’s it always great collaborating with Luke Chappell as ‘he is extremely talented and super diverse as an artist – his voice just fits everywhere!’

‘After working with Luke for Hopes, which resulted in being a major hit in Malta also getting traction overseas, we couldn’t resist another track so we met up in the studio and worked on this.’

Suffice to say, we just can’t get enough of this new track, bringing the best of the two artists. With Luke’s iconic voice and ANT’s constant hustle on the tracks, ‘Never Enough’ is set to be another local banger.

No planning fees for all proposed sports infrastructure projects

No planning fees for all proposed sports infrastructure projects
Feb 18 2022 Share

All proposed sports infrastructural projects will be exempted from needing to pay the Planning Authority’s (PA) Development Planning Fee (DPF) and an Environment Fee.

Minister for Education and Sport Clifton Grima and Minister for the Environment, Climate Channing and Planning Aaron Farrugia announced the measure during a conference.

The exemption will be applying to projects submitted and/or validated as of the 1st of January 2021. As it stands, all planning applications for projects proposed by Sports Malta or an entity registered with the Sports Council pay €4.12 per m2. 

Minister Farrugia said that this is another electoral promise fulfilled. ‘Our aim is to continue helping and incentivising registered sports organisations by exempting them from Planning Authority tariffs and fees for sports projects.’ 

‘We believe that we should promote the development of sports in Malta, and encourage sports entities through this measure in order to invest in their facilities and make them more accessible. We are helping sports entities by financing projects through the DPF’ he said. 

Minister Clifton Grima spoke about the government’s commitment to a better quality of life for all, emphasising that this can be achieved through two important links – sport and education. ‘Our aim is to give the best possible education to every child in our country, but also that every child has the opportunity to practice the sport of their choice.’ 

‘We are helping to encourage sports associations so that they can continue to invest in their sports facilities. Another opportunity with which we are supporting them so that they will be able to invest back in sports, our athletes and the community’ he said. 

Martin Saliba, Executive Chairperson of the Planning Authority, said that they strongly believe that ‘we carry a social responsibility to promote, incentivise and support the development of sports in Malta.’ 

‘This not only to be more competitive on an international level, but more importantly because sports has the unique ability to bring people together in such great numbers, and with so much passion and enjoyment.’
