Over the past week, Mayor Mr Paul Azzopardi, vice-Mayor Mr Domenic Zerafa, Executive Secretary Ms Marion Attard, council Member Ms Jeanelle Attard and former Mayor Mr Mario Camilleri paid a visit to the Italian village Castelvenere, with whom we are twinned.

The local delegate had the opportunity to rekindle this twinning project with current Mayor Mario Scetta and had the opportunity to visit places of interest in Castelvenere and the cities of Naples and Benevento.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Health Chris Fearne and Minister for Gozo Justyne Caruana, officially opened a new District Health Centre in Xewkija, adjacent to the local playingfield, with the aim of offering better primary health care services in Gozo.

Apart from the normal GP services, the centre will be also offering new services, such as speech, language and nutrition. It will also serve a blood bank in Gozo.
