The first official meeting between Chief Minister Fabian Picardo and La Linea’s Mayor Juan Franco was a positive one with more co-operation between them, as declared by both parties.
The GSD Opposition says it has taken time to consider the outcome of yesterday’s DPC meeting to grant a certificate for the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the LNG power station and believes that the ‘rubber stamping’ exercise “has only served to continue the series of flawed processes that have existed throughout this project.” The party says that it is unfortunate that the same information made available in advance to the committee had not been made available to the Opposition despite requests.
The Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo, in his capacity as Leader of the House in Parliament, has today thanked Mrs Isobel Ellul-Hammond for her service as a Member of Parliament since December 2011.
