Ghajnsielem Local Council has been carrying out a programme of resurfacing work on roads in the village. Recently, the council complete work on three streets, which included part of Our Lady of Loreto Square (the part leading to Ghajnsielem Street) and part of Garden Street. All water services were also changed. The works were carried out with the collaboration of the Parliamentary Secretary for Local Councils, Dr Chris Said.

Another road which is also in the final phase of completion is Lourdes Street which connects Mgarr Road to Lourdes chapel. The Ghajnsielem Council said that “this busy street was in dire need of repair which lead to the Council writing to the Ministry for Gozo requesting that part of the road, which was collapsing, could be rebuilt and resurfaced with hot asphalt. The Ministry accepted the council’s request and works started on it a few weeks ago. Over 75% of this street is already resurfaced.”

The Council said it also invested heavily in traffic-signs maintenance, road markings and street lighting in order to enhance road safety.

Ghajnsielem Mayor, Franics Cauchi, said that “The upgrading of our roads has always been priority for the Local Council. Unfortunately this required a heavy investment and some projects had to be shelved. But the results have finally been achieved with over 95% of the roads in Ghajnsielem now tarmaced. This clearly shows the commitment of the Local Council towards the locality.”
