PRESS RELEASE BY THE PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARIAT FOR PUBLIC WORKS Embellishment work is underway to enhance the Belvedere in Nigret, Żurrieq

In recent months, in the Nigret area of Żurrieq, the Public Works Department has completed several new pavements, contributing to safer and more accessible infrastructure for residents.

In this same area, beautification and regeneration works are currently in progress at a belvedere, which is being transformed into a relaxation space for residents and visitors to Żurrieq.

During a visit to the site, Parliamentary Secretary for Public Works Omar Farrugia explained that the Department recognised the need to turn this previously neglected area into a safer and more welcoming space, improving the quality of life for nearby residents.

“In recent months, as Public Works, we’ve focused on transforming underutilised areas into spaces where families and the elderly can spend time together in comfort. This is part of the transformation that, as a government, we are driving forward in the heart of our communities,” Parliamentary Secretary Farrugia said.

Ongoing works include resurfacing the ground, installing new benches, and fitting new lighting that will complement the overall project.

Parliamentary Secretary Farrugia noted that in the coming weeks and months, in collaboration with the Żurrieq Local Council, the Public Works Department will continue implementing more projects in the heart of the locality for Żurrieq families and all who come to enjoy the beauty the town offers.

Mayor Rita Grima stated that thanks to the synergy between the Local Council and the Public Works Department, residents in the area will soon have a space where they can spend quality time together.
