Work on the €3.7 million regeneration project of Santa Margerita Square in Sannat has been started, however it turns out that that there are “big challenges,” Minister for Gozo Clint Camilleri said.
During the excavation process, several archaeological remains were discovered in the area.
The Minister explained that continuous monitoring and contact is being made with the relevant Authorities concerned to explore the best way forward.
Minister Camilleri asked the residents of Sannat to please collaborate and apologised for any inconvenience caused.
The work to be carried out on the project includes the construction of culverts through which all services will pass; new rainwater culverts; paving and a new surface for the square; parking arrangements; pedestrian areas and traffic lanes; new street furniture and a new lighting system.
An agreement was signed in January last year between the Gozo Ministry and the Sannat Local Council to start the project.
