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.
The ESG says that it broadly welcomes the project presented by private developers for Rosia Bay. However, the group says it has some concerns, which were raised by its representative, Janet Howitt, during this week’s DPC consideration, but these were not reported in the wider press. The group believes these issues are a matter of public interest.
The GSD has accused the Government of holding Gibraltar “hostage” by its Sustainable Traffic And Transport Plan. The accusation comes in the context of a reply by Government to Opposition statements about what it describes as the “dire state” of parking and traffic in the town area.
