Entering Nadur has never been so smooth! The construction works at Rabat Road, leading Nadur to Gozo capital Victoria, are now in their final phases. Ta' Xhajma has been open to traffic since mid-June after it had been closed for weeks due to extensive infrastructural works.

"The works kicked off in October and will cost around Lm120,000," a Gozo Ministry official told june29th.com. "A 200-metre long retaining wall was built along the road which in certain areas was over four storeys deep since the road was built on clay."

The project also included the setting up of a drainage pump which will be used by residents living at Ta' Kenuna. The next phase of the project will include the embellishment of the road which ought to be ready by the end of September. 

The latest addition to the MUSEUM (boys) branch's multi- purpose hall is a magnificent new altar. The altar, designed by Joe Camilleri, is made up of wood, metal and glass. Work was carried out by Lino Curmi, Raymond and Peter Farrugia, Michael Vella and Charlie Camilleri. The altar was inaugurated during the annual MUSEUM Week held in August. Ex-Mayor Eucharist Camilleri paid all expenses as a living memory of his parents.

The MUSEUM hall went through a major face-lift during the last two years with the installation of state-of-the-art sound equipment, modern stage props and redecoration. Nadur Architect Carmelo Borg MP was responsible for the new design.

The Scottish actor is currently in Gozo on the set of his latest movie. Connery is starring as Allan Quatermain in the action film "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen".
