The Government says that, speaking for itself and for all residents of Laguna Estate, it is “delighted to note” that the GSD and Mr Edwin Reyes have remembered the existence of the estate now that they are in opposition. This compares with their “dismal record” of having forgotten the estate when they were in office, says Number Six.
This afternoon Ministry of Culture official Daniel Guerrero, Minister for Culture Steven Linares and a representative of Saccone and Speed presented a cheque to the GBC Open Day Fund. The £370 donation was raised at the hugely popular Winter Party in Town event that featured Boney M.
The Minister for Financial Services and Gaming, Albert Isola, accompanied by officials from Gibraltar Finance (James Tipping and Philip Canessa) today attended the AIMA Hedge Funds conference in Hong Kong. Also present from Gibraltar were representatives from GSX and Grant Thornton as well as the Gibraltar representative in Hong Kong, Jason Cruz.
The GSD Opposition says it has received complaints from tenants at Resolution House in Laguna Estate about the lack of concern for the health and safety of residents during the refurbishment works within their housing estate.
