UĦM welcomes City Gate project

The Union Ħaddiema Magħqudin has welcomed the project regenerating the entrance to Valletta but said a target date for conclusion of the project should be established.

The union said that the one should ensure value for money and the total expenditure should match the estimate.

The project , the union said, should help the country’s economy at a time when economic indicators were sending signals of a slowdown because of the international crisis.

However, the UĦM believed that in such a capital project the government should ensure maximum control and efficiency for money to be well spent.

The public, it said, has to be assured that the project would be well and effectively managed.

But the choice of Renzo Piano for the design work on the project should aid the capital to continue acquiring the prestige such a city deserved.
