Progress is being made on the open space project at Ħaż-Żebbuġ’s Independence Garden, with work also underway on the De Rohan Arch, a significant local landmark.
Parliamentary Secretary for Public Works, Omar Farrugia, highlighted the government’s commitment to increasing open spaces in communities, as demonstrated by the ongoing transformation of the previously abandoned Independence Garden.
The project will create areas for community activities, including a picnic area, basketball court, and a reservoir for irrigation. Modern lighting, CCTV for safety, and photovoltaic panels will also be installed, while existing trees will be preserved and new ones planted.
Accessibility improvements include the addition of a pelican crossing and maintenance of on-site parking. Farrugia also visited the restoration work on the De Rohan Arch, funded through an agreement with 54 local councils.
Ħaż-Żebbuġ Mayor Steve Zammit Lupi praised the projects, noting their positive impact on both the appearance of the locality and the quality of life for its residents.
