Gibraltar’s representation at the Labour Party Conference continued yesterday evening with the Gibraltar Reception hosted by the Chief Minister Fabian Picardo and featuring a keynote speech by the UK Minister for Europe and the Overseas Territories Stephen Doughty MP.
Opposition MP Selwyn Figueras has today summarized what he regards as the “latest ramblings” of the Minister for the Environment in respect of the Commonwealth Park by saying that: “The Minister clearly won't give us the estimate because he's embarrassed about how much his park is going to cost in the context of a community which was apparently broke a couple of years ago.”
An Equality Rights Group spokesman has said that the group is “shocked to hear more and more constant worries over designated parking spaces properly reserved for exclusive use by disabled citizens being all too frequently blocked or taken by able-bodied users.”
Opposition Spokesman for Health, Isobel Ellul-Hammond, has congratulated the students who recently graduated in Nursing and Paramedic Science. She said that this is the cohort of students who started their training in 2010 when the GSD was still in Government, a programme the GSD reintroduced in order to give locals the opportunity to train as nurses in Gibraltar.
