In recent months the Council has embarked on a large amount of work on pavements. The Council was unanimous in agreement that more focus was needed on the maintenance of pavements and for this reason, the sum of Eur100,000 was allocated for the reconstruction of a number of pavements for the year 2019.
In the meantime, the Council had begun the process of issuing calls for tenders. Unfortunately no one bid for the first call. Therefore a new call was issued and one bid was lodged. This was selected after the usual scrutiny by the evaluation board along with technical advice.
Work started immediately and among others, pavements done up to now are in:
Triq il-Maħluġ, Triq il-Kappella ta’ Xagħra, Triq l-Oratorju, Triq il-Markiż Scicluna, Triq il-Ġnien, Xatt il-Palm u Triq il-Brażil.
Aktar xogħlijiet ta’ bankini
F’dan l-aħħar xhur il-Kunsill beda jwettaq ammont kbir ta’ xogħlijiet ta’ bankini. Il-Kunsill kien unanimu li għandu bżonn jiffoka aktar fuq il-manutenzjoni tal-bankini u kien għalhekk li għas-sena 2019 ivvota s-somma ta’ Eur100,000 biex ibiddel numru ta’ bankini.
Sadanittant, il-Kunsill kien beda l-proċess tal-ħruġ tal-offerti. Sfortunatament fl-ewwel sejħa ħadd ma tefa’ l-offerta tiegħu. Kien għalhekk li ħarġet sejħa mill-ġdid fejn intefgħet offerta waħda. Din ġiet magħżula wara s-soltu skrutinju mill-bord tal-evalwazzjoni, flimkien ma’ pariri tekniċi.
Ix-xogħol beda minnufih u fost l-oħrajn s’issa saru xogħlijiet ta’ bankini fi:
Triq il-Maħluġ, Triq il-Kappella ta’ Xagħra, Triq l-Oratorju, Triq il-Markiż Scicluna, Triq il-Ġnien, Xatt il-Palm u Triq il-Brażil.
