A once barren and underutilized area in Ta’ Ramija, Siġġiewi, has been revitalised into a lush green space for the local community.

With an investment of over €250,000 and the dedicated work of the Public Works Department, the transformation included planting 14 trees, 242 shrubs, and 2,100 new plants across the site.

The project also introduced a modern irrigation system, enhanced security features, improved lighting, new outdoor furniture, and extensive landscaping to create a welcoming and sustainable environment.

Parliamentary Secretary for Public Works, Omar Farrugia, joined by Former President Marie Louise Coleiro Preca and Siġġiewi Mayor Julian Borg, described the initiative as more than just an aesthetic improvement.

“This project is a testament to the government’s commitment to expanding public spaces for the benefit of residents,” Farrugia stated.

He further emphasised that investing in open spaces fosters a more inclusive society, ensuring that progress benefits the entire country. “This space stands as a clear reminder that the community remains at the heart of all we do.”

Mayor Julian Borg also underscored the importance of this new public area, made possible through close collaboration between the Public Works Department and the local council, providing an enhanced space for all Siġġiewi residents to enjoy.
