Organic bags for each household - pick up times

The historic lantern has been restored at the roof of Verdala school.
It was once part of the Verdala fortress. These fortified barracks were built by the British in the 1850s within part of the bastions of the 17th century Santa Margherita Lines. The fort was used as a prisoner-of-war camp in both World Wars.

The restoration treatment for the steel structure in the large silo has finally commenced. The steel base structure supported huge concrete silos on it and time and lack of maintenance in this area has seen its toll on the structure.
Nonetheless, sand and grit blasting has exposed a magnificent structure still in optimal condition of repair and a series of surface treatments will reinstate the structural steelwork to its former glory. Once done, a meticulous restoration to the silo walls and masonry walls of the silos will be carried out.

Several maintenance work was carried out on Fort St. Angelo on the rest days, including on the exterior lighting
as well as various structures on the roof. In addition, the
Egmont Hall newly plastered and painted.
All thanks to the excellent frontline officers and the maintenance and servicing team at Heritage Malta

The Kalkara Local Council strongly regrets the vandalism that took place again Monday on an old column in Triq Santa Liberata, the remains of the two historic columns of St. Peter and St. Paul. It was restored with great skill by the Directorate for Restoration in 2018.

Congratulations on your work and for more honors in the future.

Work is underway to have a new public library and a more beautiful recreation area in Kalkara in the coming weeks where a person can read a book while meeting other residents. This means that the local library will no longer be in Triq San Mikiel. The council staff are currently dismantling the current library, pending the completion of the new one.

Santa Margerita Windmill
Built by Cotoner in 1674. In use till appr. 1916. For the last 30 years in a very bad state. Its mechanism was dismantled to restore the Ta' Xarolla windmill in Zurrieq during the 1970s. The windmill is located near Firenzuola Bastion (part of Cottonera Lines) and is now going to be restored by the Restoration Directorate.

After flowers were given to all residents in Kalkara, some of the flowers from the Valletta Green Festival have now gone to Birgu. Here, however, they were not given away to the residents but planted with the help of several volunteers in various public places in the city.

Tonight in Kalkara!
On the initiative of Powerhouse - Audiovisuals & Events, Mayor Wayne Aquilina gave a suggestion to join Kalkara tonight in the #lighttheskymalta campaign so that as a village we can say a symbolic thank you to those who are working against the Covid19 pandemic.

"Tieqa fuq l-Istorja" - "A Window on History"
In view of Covid-19, Fondazzjoni Wirt Artna has launched a new initiative to adapt its museums and the attractiveness of cultural heritage to the new situation. One of the doors to the street at the Malta at War Museum in Birgu will be transformed into a permanent exhibition window that passers-by can view free of charge without having to enter the museum. The new exhibition space enables exhibitions to be held that focus on certain aspects of Maltese heritage. In this case, a focus is placed on the connection with Cottonera.
The new initiative was called "Tieqa fuq l-Istorja" - "A Window on History" and funded by the Kottonera Foundation. The first exhibition takes place already in May and lasts four months. It is then replaced by other exhibitions, each of which focuses on different topics related to Cottonera.

The visitor area of the L-Isla Local Council has been redesigned. The room divider made of glass in the office is not a temporary measure because of Covid-19 Its a general permanent redesign which in this case will also help with Covid measures & security.

Senglea Day 2020
Dear residents today we cannot meet as we do every year. But I would like to take this opportunity to thank the previous Mayors and Councils for the work they have done. Personal thanks to Guiseppe Casha former Mayor of Senglea for his work and that I was fortunate to be a grateful Deputy Mayor who is building on his good.
Thanks to Deputy Mayor Twanny Bonavia, Councilor
Joeline Attard, Malcolm Gatt, Corinne Buhagiar and Council employees working to pull one rope to see the results.
I am proud to be the Mayor with a team that today I consider like a family that where there is unity there is a big heart.
We look forward to achieving success for Senglea together.
Clive Pulis (Mayor L-Isla)

Please note the risk of confusion
Due to some complaints we have received today, we would like to point out that our website www.cottonera.info and also our facebook page are in no way related to the facebook groups "Friends of Cottonera" or "Real friends of Cottonera". Please send any complains about the behavior of group members to the relevant group itself or the group administrator directly.
We very much regret that such differences arise within the community and hope that the members of both groups will calm their minds again, even if different points of view are represented. Ultimately, we all want only the best for the Cottonera region. Thanks!

In 2021 Senglea celebrates the 100th anniversary of the ceremonial crowning of the statue of Maria Bambina. Here is some detailed historical information about how the statue was crowned.

Three 100 years old documents unveiled. These documents are:
1) the dossier prepared by Mgr Francesco Marengo
2) the petition made by the Archpriest Rev. Can. Joseph Adami to Bishop Mauro Caruana and
3) the plea made by the bishop to the pope, asking for the beloved statue of Our Lady to be crowned with the Holy See’s approval.
The documents provide information about new details and complement the history of the city.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT Kalkara Local Council
The official statement (on the left) is saying that the Council does not agree with the standard of works being done by the Water Service Corporation and that the council shows its disapproval regarding the maintanance work in Triq il-Missjoni Taljana, Triq Joseph Calleja and parts of Triq Temp f 'Santu Rokku during the last few days. The local council contacted the company several times, but they didn't rectify the situation. Therefore, the council publish this press release, which sets out these facts.

More restoration work scheduled in Senglea.
This Friday the Senglea Local Council presented the application with the Planning Authority for the restoration of the niche of Our Lady of Porto Salvu at Gardjola Gardens.

On behalf of the Senglea Local Council I would like to thank Connie Coleiro who has voluntarily made masks for those who need some help.
Anyone wishing any help should contact me or directly the Local Council. L-Isla Mayor Clive Pulis

We ask for your full cooperation.
Thanks a lot

We pray for all their families in this time of grief.

This is a call to those who can sew. I want to put together a group of tailors who can volunteer to help with a project I plan for Kalkara. I would be happy if there are tailors (preferably Kalkarizi) who would like to help. Please call 79790100 or write to me on Facebook. This will be a joint project to take care of each other together.
Kalkara Mayor Wayne Aquilina

One of the new measures that will come into force on Monday across Malta is the marking of distances in waiting areas (for example, in front of shops or bus stops).
Acknowledgment and congratulations to the Local Council Kalkara for pioneering this idea, which was implemented in Kalkara already
3 weeks ago.
For all other new measures check our Covid-19 News page.

We are extremely happy with the increasing response rate ever since this festival was launched in 2018. This year we are proud to announce we have received a total of 19 original scripts in Maltese & English out of which a panel of judges will be selecting 6. Whilst wishing success to all scriptwriters, we kindly advise that the 6 scripts that will make it to the final will be announced on the 1st of June at midday.
Bormla Local Council

Apart from the regular cleaning and the additional fumigation of areas, the Local Council Bormla is currently carrying out intensive maintenance exercises in several areas. Maintenance work was carried out on bollards along the Dok 1 promenade and road markings are carried out along St.George's Street. Additional initiatives such as those by Clayton Bartolo and the Ozo Group in Bormla, which clean and renovate on a voluntary basis, improve cleanliness and safety.

A private contractor has started to implement a three-year contract signed with the Bormla local council for the maintenance and care of parks and gardens. Scope of the contract € 100,000
We urge residents to contribute refraining from littering and getting in touch with us whenever they witness any sort of vandalism.

On Thursday, April 9, a letter of intent was signed between the Mayor and Executive Secretary of the Isla Local Council and the Ministry of the Environment. This agreement includes the regeneration and planting of trees in various areas, including Triq il-Ħabs l-Antik, the opening to the sea promenade along with the Terraced Houses, Dawret ix-Xatt, Pjazza Andrea Debono and the Gardjola garden. With this agreement, which consists of a fund of € 30,000, we will work to leave a better place in the coming years.
All Local Councils in the Cottonera wish their residents a HAPPY EASTER!
Stay Safe - Stay Home!



IMPORTANT NOTICE
regarding the Easter
Resurrection Celebrations
No one should go outside.
Everyone should just go out
to the balconies and windows!
Thanks for the cooperation

Senglea residents:
Organic Waste Collection will be tomorrow

The Bormla Local Council informs all residents that an agreement has been signed today to deploy 20 people to disinfect public spaces and urban areas. These staff will be in Bormla daily and will ensure that all areas are reached through this service. This is an additional service to that provided by the central government through the cleaning and maintenance department.

With immediate effect, due to the present situation, the local council L-Isla is operating with certain restrictions.
Violations of the quarantine conditions of COVID 19 will be fined € 3,000. The police conduct around 400 inspections a day with the help of health authorities and the civil protection department. A total of 65 fines have been imposed since the mandatory quarantine period for the coronavirus came into force. One of them is a house owner in Senglea. The fine was imposed here because no one opened the door when the inspection was carried out. In the case of the Senglea house owner, two of the house owner's visitors were in self-quarantine, but had left the country within the 14-day quarantine period and therefore could not be found in the home. It has not yet been clarified why the police subsequently issued the penalty order against the house owner (who was not living in the house).
What this case shows us is that penal orders are issued not only when someone in a self-quarantine is found in the public space, but also when he does not open the door during an inspection. And it can also happen that a punishment is imposed on a wrong person who is not in self-quarantine at all. In the case mentioned, both apply.
continues next page

The Senglea house owner had to make several calls to the police and prove the return flight of the guests (copies of the boarding passes). After one week, it was announced in writing that the fine had been canceled.
Two weeks later (3 weeks after the visitors left and their self-quarantine would have expired a long time ago) the police stood at the door again and wanted to check whether the visitors' quarantine had been met. Apparently the actually closed case was still registered as an active case in the documents.
This is for sure not an isolated case, as thousands of registered visitors in self-quarantine had started their return journey before the 14-day period expired.
It is certainly not easy to manage around 400 inspections every day. However, several mistakes were made in the present case. Among other things, it is mandatory that the full name (and not "house owner") be given on the criminal order as well as the reason for the misstep.
It is certainly important and necessary to carry out the inspections, however, at a time that is difficult for everyone, should be avoided to stress innocent people. Dealing with each other should be particularly careful in times of crisis. Throwing a penalty order of € 3,000 into the mailbox without a name and without giving a reason and threatening an additional € 3,000 if you do not report immediately - just because nobody is at home - should be avoided. There can be several reasons why someone does not open the door - this alone is not evidence that someone has broken the quarantine rules.
