With an investment of €500,000, significant infrastructure works are currently being carried out in 13 residential alleyways across Ħaż-Żabbar, with over 1.5 kilometres of roads being completely rebuilt.
The project is set to improve the daily lives of more than 100 families living in these areas.
Parliamentary Secretary for Public Works, Omar Farrugia, visited one of the sites alongside Żabbar Mayor Jorge Grech.
He emphasised that these upgrades are not only enhancing the quality of life for residents in the affected alleys but also contributing positively to the overall environment and infrastructure of the town.
Mayor Jorge Grech noted that this large-scale investment has been made possible through an agreement between the Public Works Department and 54 Local Councils, aimed at streamlining and facilitating similar community projects.
Architect Kurt Sapiano outlined the scope of the ongoing works, which include the complete replacement of drainage and water systems, along with new paving to ensure better accessibility for all residents.
The upgrades are part of a broader effort to modernise residential areas and ensure more resilient infrastructure throughout Ħaż-Żabbar.
