Oct 11 - UN Students Express Gratitude to Government
With a visit to the UN and a conference with the Council on Foreign Relations under their belts, the six local students that were chosen to accompany the Government delegation to the New York this week, explained that they had really enjoyed the meetings, especially at the UN.
Although the group, who were accompanied by Education Director Dr. Joey Britto and Minister for Education Gilbert Licudi, did not have the chance to carry out a great deal of sight seeing, some of their favourite moments include a visit to Times Square, Central Park and Grand Central Station.
The Environmental Safety Group today met with MEP Sir Graham Watson to brief him on the worsening situation of sewage contamination at Western Beach, as well as on the broader issues of environmental degradation in the Bay contained in their recently published paper.
The ESG has confirmed that it will be holding a meeting with MEP Sir Graham Watson on Friday morning during his visit to Gibraltar. The group’s legal advisor, David Dumas QC, will also be present at this meeting.
The Gibraltar Bus Company has embarked on a project to improve user friendliness for wheelchair users boarding its vehicles. The Government plans to construct ramps at those bus stops throughout the Rock, which currently pose difficulties for persons with a physical disability.
