Minister for Social and Affordable Accommodation Roderick Galdes inaugurated the regeneration project that was carried out in the Marsa social housing area. Minister Galdes highlighted how this project, with an investment of around €1.4 million through European funds, will provide 120 resident families as well as the locality in general with enhanced open spaces, leading to an overall improvement in their quality of life.

“We are committed to continue ensuring that every citizen, irrespective of their circumstances, lives a dignified life in a high-quality environment. This vision is being realised through our initiatives in various social housing areas including Marsa, Mosta, and Santa Lucija,” explained Minister Galdes.

This project is part-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The regeneration project included a complete overhaul of the area, enhancing accessibility with ramps, the addition of greenery through tree planting, and the installation of a solar panel system dedicated to generating electricity for the locality.

“Our duty as Government extends beyond just offering decent and dignified shelter; it includes ensuring that the space around the housing areas serve as a serene haven for families to unwind together,” concluded Minister Galdes.
