Eco-Truck presented to Local Council
The Hon. Giovanna Debono, Minister for Gozo this morning presented an eco truck to be used by the Ghajnsielem Local Council. The battery-operated vehicle will be used by the Local Council in several small projects which part of the Eco-Gozo vision of making our island more beautiful, welcoming, inclusive and successful. These include cleaning of the valleys, embellishment works and cleaning of valleys and passageways.
The Ghajnsielem Local Council was eligible for 95% of its funding through the eco-Gozo 2nd scheme for Local Councils. These funds will assist the Local Council in the reconstruction of Għajn tal-Ħasselin monument and the formation of a roof belvedere, the top of which may be accessed from the existing stepped passageway. The Għajnsielem Local Council is also proposing to clean Simirat valley starting from the proximity of Triq Borg Għarib, through the first stretch of buildings of Triq Simirat and ending in an underground tunnel which passes through Pjazza tad-Dehra and conveys the water into the valley passing through Ta’ Passi.
