Feb 19 2023 Share

Nadur is known for its spontaneous carnival celebrations that take place each year. These festivities are a highlight of the town’s cultural calendar, drawing visitors from all over the world to experience the vibrant atmosphere and colorful costumes. However, with the joy and excitement of the carnival comes the challenge of managing the large crowds and cleaning up the streets after the festivities.

This year, the Nadur Local Council rose to the challenge, demonstrating their commitment to keeping the town clean and safe for residents and visitors alike. Within just a few hours of the spontaneous carnival celebrations, organised by the council, in collaboration with the Ministry for Gozo, G7 events, and Malta Daily, the council had mobilised a team of workers who worked tirelessly to clean up the streets and public areas that had been used during the festivities.

The Nadur Local Council ensured that the streets were left spotless. They cleared up everything that was scattered on the ground, while also manually sweeping the streets and sidewalks to ensure that nothing was left behind. In addition, they placed numerous garbage bins in strategic locations throughout the town to encourage the thousands of visitors to dispose of their waste responsibly.

The efforts of the Nadur Local Council did not go unnoticed, with many residents and visitors praising the council’s swift action and commitment to maintaining the town’s cleanliness. Mayor Edward Said, expressed his gratitude to the workers who had worked tirelessly throughout the night to clean up the streets, as well as to the residents and visitors who had helped to keep the town clean.

The success of this year’s carnival celebrations in Nadur is a testament to the importance of effective planning and coordination between local authorities, residents, visitors, and organisers. By working together to ensure that the town remained clean and safe throughout the festivities, the council and the community have set a high standard for future events in the town.

In conclusion, the Nadur Local Council’s quick and efficient response to the cleaning challenges posed by the spontaneous carnival celebrations is a shining example of the town’s commitment to maintaining a clean and safe environment for all. Their dedication to keeping the streets clean and clear after the festivities is an inspiration to other towns and cities, and a reminder of the importance of responsible waste management and environmental stewardship.

The body of Ghanaian professional footballer and former Newcastle United winger Christian Atsu has been found dead in the aftermath of the earthquakes which hit Turkey and Syria on February 6.

According to one of the footballer’s representatives, Atsu’s body was found in the ruins of the building where he lived in Turkey after the earthquakes that occurred on February 6.

Atsu had been missing since the earthquakes and was mistakenly reported as hospitalised last week. His agent expressed deep sorrow and extended condolences to Atsu’s family and loved ones.

The agent also thanked those who supported and prayed for Atsu and asked for privacy for the family during this difficult time. Atsu had played for several Premier League teams, including Chelsea, Bournemouth, Everton, and Newcastle, after joining Chelsea in 2013 and being sent on loan to Dutch club Vitesse.

On February 6, 2023, earthquakes hit both Turkey and Syria, resulting in significant damage and loss of life. The initial earthquake measured 7.3 on the Richter scale and was followed by several aftershocks. The earthquakes triggered a large-scale rescue and recovery effort, with many people still missing and the death toll continuing to rise.
