Works at the Commonwealth Park continue to push on with the hopes of meeting a Spring opening deadline. In February the Government put out a tender for the maintenance of the park, for 2014 and 2015. A YGTV viewer sent in this panoramic photo of works at the park, today.
A clash in Parliament this afternoon during Questions to the Chief Minister, saw Opposition leader Daniel Feetham question Mr. Picardo on the Government’s decision to not pursue outstanding rents for Government rentals. The issue, the Chief Minister insists, is one of law and not policy; he noted that the Statute of Limitations states that rent debts from over 5 years ago are no longer recoverable.
The Opposition leader questioned the Government’s decision to ‘write off £3 million of arrears’ that are adding to the Gibraltar’s ‘culture of entitlement’, which he suggested the Government was supporting. Mr. Feetham said, ‘in the spirit of constructiveness I’m asking CM to consider and reverse his policy’.
Members of Gibraltar’s Round Table were granted a special audience with HRH the Duke of Edinburgh at Buckingham Palace last week. This follows a ‘Cornerstone of the Community’ Award recently presented to Round Table Gibraltar by the Newcastle Building Society.
Round Table is a non-political, international professional young men’s networking and community service association that currently flourishes in the majority of European Countries.
