The New Civic Centre in Ghajnsielem was inaugurated yesterday by the Prime Minister Dr Lawrence Gonzi.

The civic center, which took two years to build at a cost of around €300,000 was funded by the Ghajnsielem Local Council on land given by the Government. It houses the local council offices, a community hall, health centre, police station, public library, internet cafe and post office.

The Prime Minister said that the civic center will further strengthen the commitment shown by this Local Council since its establishment to the families and the community of Ghajnsielem.

The Prime Minister went on to say how the “Ghajnsielem Local Council had benefited from a number of Government schemes over recent years. These include both sporting and cultural activities such as Betlhem f’Ghajnsielem which encourages thousands of domestic and foreign tourists every year.”

“The Governement has invested in better roads for residents and motorists across the islands. Since 2008 we have given aid through schemes to Local Councils of € 22 million in for the maintenance and construction of roads. So far 350 roads have been repaired through these schemes.” The Prime Minister said.

The Prime Minister also mentioned the investment in the new ferry terminal at Mgarr and the waterfront project that is under construction, as well as the new road from the harbour, along with other roads under construction and repair across the island.
