Mar 12 - Volunteers Needed for Botanical Gardens Natural Learning Centre
The Botanical Gardens’ new Natural Learning Centre, which is aimed at providing a safe place for children to learn the joys of planting and caring for plants whilst learning new skills and the importance of looking after our environment, is looking for volunteers to help run further sessions with children.
The Natural Learning Centre is already being used by a weekly children's gardening club. The children are growing edible plants which will be planted into a special bed within the gardens. The public are encouraged to visit the gardens over the next few months and witness the project take shape.
‘We are most concerned following reports that Wendy Cumming, President of the GGCA Union, has been allegedly warned to resign her post on the Executive of the Union following a recent social media comment,’ Equality Rights Group Chairman Felix Alvarez stated in a communiqué today.
The Gibraltar Electricity Authority have apologised for any inconvenience to the public on account of the power outage that occurred on Friday 8th March 2013 affecting 5 districts of consumers. The outage occurred at approximately 00.08 hrs with all consumers having power restored by about 00.11hrs.
The GSD is concerned about reports it has been receiving of local banks allegedly losing long standing (in some cases, high net worth) customers to the Gibraltar Savings Bank. If true, this would be a worrying development, especially following the concerns raised on behalf of the Gibraltar Bankers’ Association.
