The first playground that conforms to standards established by the Malta Standards Authority has been inaugurated at Munxar.
The Munxar council has benefitted from several schemes offered by the government to implement the Ġuże’ Aquilina Garden project, in which €219,000 have been invested.
The garden will be generating alternative energy and providing free WiFi.
Parliamentary Secretary Chris Said said the government was assisting councils in the implementation of 15 special projects, forking out €237,000, through a purposely set up scheme.
He said that between last year and this year, the government would also have invested €615,000 in incentives to council to produce alternative energy.
Dr Said said that 21 contracts were signed in April for the implementation of project valued €900,000 in 17 localities.
