On 10th October 2013, Her Majesty the Queen appointed Mr. Felix Alvarez to be an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE), for services to the advancement of equality and human rights in Gibraltar.
Felix chairs the Equality Rights Group, helping to make important advances in the rights of sexual minorities, immigrants, and in the protection of minors.
The Department of the Environment is continuing with its strategy to remove the Barbary Macaques frequenting urban ‘hot spots’, through the use of noisemakers. The method was successful some months back, but it is essential to periodically repeat this.
Noise-makers will cause loud ‘banging’ noises in the areas of Laguna Estate, Trafalgar and Gardiner’s Road. The operation will commence today and will run for a period of two or three weeks. Further information of any expansion of ‘hot spots’, which may be tackled with firecrackers, is to be issued shortly.
