Staff from the Department of the Environment have been hard at work giving the area of Europa  Point a facelift, carrying out repairs and painting throughout the area.

Metal railings, which  corrode easily in the salt spray on this exposed site have been treated and painted, as have  wooden railings, and other features in the area, like the interpretation centre at Harding’s  Battery have also been spruced up. 

Minister for Environment John Cortes said, “It is important that we maintain our sites, for the  enjoyment of local users as well as tourists, and I am proud of the staff of the Department who  are committed to organising and carrying out this work”.
