San Gwann set for €1.1 million upgrade

San Gwann is set for a major €1.1 million embellishment of the Karin Grech gardens, which will see the play area extended by some 900 square metres.

An online walkthrough is available to the public on the rural affairs and resources ministry's website. The project is expected to be completed within eight months.

Minister George Pullicino said the new gardens will have a landscaped area, a fountain and a play area for children, as well as the current bowls club. The Karin Grech monument will also be incorporated into a new design and given a more prominent space in the garden.

A civic centre will also be constructed to house the local council's offices and other community services.
