Inaugurating the Pjazza tad-Dehra Embellishment
This coming weekend, the Ghajnsielem Local Council will be inaugurating the newly embellished Apparition Square better known as the Pjazza tad-Dehra. The square which is situated in the historic area of the village has benefitted from €125,000 in E.U. grants financed by the European Agriculture Funds for Rural Development (EAFRD) under measure 413.4: Quality of life – Action: Landscaping.
The embellishment works consisted of changing the new fountain base from limestone to hard stone, replacement of the paving area into porfido, installation of lawn, restoration of the street furniture, construction of a reservoir and the addition of two wooden bridges.
The inauguration ceremony will take place on Sunday 29th May at 6:30pm. The Parliamentary Secretary for the EU Presidency 2017 and EU Funds Hon. Ian Borg, Minister for Gozo Hon. Dr Anton Refalo and Parliamentary Secretary for Local Government Hon. Stefan Buontempo will be present for the ceremony. The Sbandieratori di Noto, a famous flag throwers group from Sicily will entertain the guests and the general public. There will also be a traditional Maltese food area and traditional Maltese games for kids.
This project will complement the ‘Ghajn tal-Hasselin’ (washers’ spring) monument which was inaugurated last year.
