Maltese town squares are architecturally very rich, especially in the way their parvis enhances their artistic potential, said Resources and Infrastructure Minister Ninu Zammit, who was on a visit to see the newly-completed work on Qormi’s St Sebastian church parvis. The Lm74,000 embellishment project began in April and was carried out by the ministry’s own employees. New kerbs have been laid, as well as services underneath the newly laid pavement. A new lighting system has also been installed. The minister said that, in the last four years, the government had invested in an extensive embellishment project for various town squares, as well as tourist areas such as the Wied iz-Zurrieq Belvedere, the Mall Gardens, paving of the new pedestrian area in Valletta and the restoration of the old church in Siggiewi and the building of an outdoor sports complex in Zurrieq. This showed, said Mr Zammit, that the government not only had a plan for the sector but was busily implementing it.
