Prime Minister Robert Abela inaugurated an investment in favour of the whole community at the Bir\u017cebbu\u0121a Aquatic Club. Through this investment, the club is now equipped with a heat pump system and a new pool cover, so that the water is kept at a suitable temperature throughout the year. This will allow athletes, club members and residents to make use of this facility all year round<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Abela stated that this project reflects the Government\u2019s continuous commitment to implement quality projects in the sports sector and for the benefit of the community. He noted with satisfaction how this investment reflects the synergy between various entities including the Department of Public Works, SportMalta, representatives of this sports club and the Bir\u017cebbu\u0121a Local Council. As a result of this collaboration, the spread of benefits generated by this investment will make this only outdoor pool in the south of Malta, which is now also heated, accessible to Bir\u017cebbu\u0121a residents on specific days and times. \u201cThis makes the project truly community-based, and strengthens social and sporting activity in the locality,\u201d the Prime Minister added.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dr Abela also noted that this project is expected to bring substantial financial benefits to the club, which until now had to pay for the use of other swimming pools during the winter months. The funds that would have been spent for this purpose can now be re-invested in the club, to strengthen its operations and guarantee its long-term financial sustainability.<\/p>\n

This initiative further confirms how local communities are at the centre of the Government\u2019s vision and political agenda, together with the political will to invest continuously in Bir\u017cebbu\u0121a in order to rectify and improve past decisions and create a better future for all residents.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister stressed that this project goes hand in hand with other initiatives being taken by the Government in this locality, including the regeneration of the Bir\u017cebbu\u0121a Promenade, which will be carried out with an investment of around \u20ac12 million and is expected to start at the beginning of next year \u2013 a project which will create five new open spaces.<\/p>\n

The Parliamentary Secretary for Public Works, Omar Farrugia, remarked that the south of Malta, through this project, for the first time has a pool which can be used all year round and not only in the summer months. He added that this investment will be a new service for Bir\u017cebbu\u0121a residents and those living in nearby areas who need to use the pool for therapeutic purposes.<\/p>\n

The Parliamentary Secretary added that in recent months the Public Works Department, together with the Local Council and local organisations, worked hard to implement a number of projects that guarantee a better quality of life and safer environment for the Bir\u017cebbu\u0121a community and the surrounding residents. \u201cThis commitment will continue to be strengthened, as at the beginning of next year, apart from the regeneration of the Bir\u017cebbu\u0121a Promenade, there is also the building of a new place for the regatta club. These are projects which mean direct investment in Bir\u017cebbu\u0121a residents,\u201d concluded Farrugia.<\/p>\n
