In response to last night’s incident in Algeciras, the Gibraltar Contingency Council (GCC) met this morning, 26th January, to review security matters. The meeting was co-chaired by his Excellency the Governor and the Chief Minister.
The Chief Minister Fabian Picardo and the Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia are in Madrid for a continuation of the discussions on Gibraltar’s future relationship with the European Union and through them with our nearest EU neighbour, Spain. They are accompanied by the Attorney General Michael Llamas.
At approximately 12:20hrs today, the North Mole Power Station experienced an interruption to its gas supply from the Shell LNG terminal, thus resulting in two of the four engines that were operational at the time shutting down, the other two continued running on back-up fuel. As a consequence, several areas suffered a power outage.
Together Gibraltar have announced a series of public panels to discuss local issues. The first of these debates will be hosted at 6pm on the 6th February at John Mackintosh Hall. This first debate will focus on sustainable transport in Gibraltar.
