The long lost Montagu Sea-Bathing Pavilion plaque, missing since 1988, has finally been restored and placed on the exterior façade of the Montagu entrance. Originally, the plaque stood within the entrance in the main reception area.

Should there not be an inquiry into GBC?
Being infatuated with anything can be a dangerous thing, and when you happen to be the Chief Minister infatuated with GBC, could even cost him his seat in Parliament, because he is incapable of recognising the situation he is facing especially at a time when his government is working from a deficit - and he is as pleased as Punch forking out over £14 million for GBC for the little they produce.

Following the arrival in Gibraltar of an additional 8,000 doses of the Pfizer BioNtech vaccines last week, the programme to vaccinate young people in Gibraltar who wanted to take up the offer of a COVID-19 vaccine has commenced. Originally planned for after the mid-term break, the early delivery of vaccines from the UK to Gibraltar meant that the team from the GHA which included nurses from ERS were able to bring forward the planned vaccination programme for young people by 2-3 weeks, allowing us to give protection to these young people and their families sooner than anticipated.

The Government reiterates once again that TNG Global Foundation were prepared to pay more than anyone else to develop the Bayside/St Anne’s site. Their bid for the site was for many millions more than the next interested party.
The Opposition are doing no more than splitting hairs in order to criticise the Government for the allocation of the plot in question. The Government has already given an accurate, full and transparent account of the procedures that have been followed. In fact, we have given more information about this award than the GSD ever gave about any allocation of land in the time Mr Azopardi was a Minister. Read more
