The Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo, today met with the Foreign Secretary, Rt Hon Lord David Cameron, at the Foreign Office in London in order to discuss the outstanding issues and matters in the ongoing negotiation with the European Union in relation to Gibraltar.
Three years since its commencement, the Government’s flagship ‘Sustainable Traffic, Transport and Parking Plan’ has had its initial release, in the form of a draft document to inform the masses on the problem areas and potential solutions to resolve the most common issues, including parking and demand management, public transport, sustainable travel, road safety and traffic management, re designing Gibraltar’s urban structure, and how the plan will be implemented.
The GSD notes that, days after his confirmation in Parliament that there is a significant problem with Government over-spending, Mr Bossano, the Minister for Inward Investment, “continues to raise serious doubts about the state of Government finances.”
Another Tradewise Chess Festival Master Class was presented by women’s world champion, Chinese 20 year old Hou Yifan who revealed details of her plans for 2015.
Hou explained that she would not defend her world title in March this year during a knock event in Sochi Russia where the Women’s World Championship will be held next month, as she has a prior commitment at a chess tournament in Hawaii.
