The final communique issued at the end of this week’s meeting of the Joint Ministerial Council in London contained references to several issues of current concern to Gibraltar. Overall, the communique pledged the UK, the Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies to work together in areas such as Prosperity, Security, Environment, Governance, Communities and International issues.
The GSD is concerned at reports it has received that indicate there has been significant water penetration at several homes in Glacis estate, homes which had not suffered such problems prior to the commencement of the refurbishment works.
