Amongst the major works performed by the Ghajnsielem Local Council through the past years, road resurfacing was always high on the agenda. And by resurfacing Wied ir-Rajjes and Cordina street (last part leading to the Cemetery), the Council kept its promise of resurfacing all the roads that fall under its jurisdiction.

Rainwater culverts were constructed in Wied ir-Rghajjes street in order to minimize the draining impact at the Apparition Square. The drainage and water services have also been upgraded while the pavements were replaced. Thanks to these road works, the cemetery now started to enjoy drainage and water services.

Works on part of Zewwieqa Street will start in the next few days. Tenders were also submitted for the resurfacing of Qighan street, Imrejzbiet street and Merchant Street.

Ghajnsielem.com asked Mayor Franics Cauchi to give his comments about the state of our roads: “The upgrading of our road has always been priority for the Local Council. Unfortunately this required a heavy investment and some projects had to be shelved. But the results are finally being reaped and the Council will now start focusing on other exciting projects”

It is interesting to note that 95% of the roads in Ghajnsielem are now tarmaced. This clearly shows the commitment of the Local Council towards our locality.
