The Environmental Safety Group (ESG) says it shares the community's concerns regarding the “sudden and totally unexpected” pollution tax on cars over ten years old (regardless of emissions and type) announced by the Chief Minister yesterday.

The Government of Gibraltar notes the fire on board a vessel which is undergoing scrapping at the North Mole this morning. The vessel was docked at the North Mole.
Emergency services responded immediately to the scene and the fire has now been extinguished with the situation fully under control.
