THE MOUNT PROTECTION ACT In order to ensure that a future Government cannot hand The Mount to developers without having to go through Parliament, as was planned by the GSD, we will protect The Mount in law. We will protect the Mount grounds, including the gardens and the woodland, and its buildings. NORTHERN DEFENCES ADVENTURE PARK Our work on the Northern Defences will continue and will widen to include a staged incorporation of the Moorish Castle Keep and associated structures. This will include areas with zip lines, for adventure training and for general recreation as well as providing a scintillating tourist experience. The whole area will be made accessible by the addition of a lift approved by the DPC. It will include a calisthenics park. HISTORIC WALL MAINTENANCE We will provide for an ongoing programme of cleaning and restoration of our historic walls. WWII TUNNELS We will protect and open up as much as possible aspects of heritage that are often forgotten, such as our World War II bunkers, and look into opening up AROW Street on the east side as an alternative route for pedestrians and cyclists. NATURAL HISTORY RESEARCH We will continue to support research into our history, as well as our natural history and heritage, including that carried out by the Gibraltar National Museum, the Botanic Gardens, the Gorham’s Cave Complex World Heritage Site and will continue to support the world-renowned Calpe Conference. PUBLISHING OUR HERITAGE We will provide support for publications, and for establishing collections on all aspects of Gibraltar’s heritage, including its social and cultural heritage. HERITAGE ARTEFACTS We will add to the list of schedules buildings, monuments and artefacts, in consultation with all stakeholders. URBAN RENEWAL We will continue to encourage urban renewal, which will include working with landlords and NGOs to improve conditions in the Upper Town. URBAN RENEWAL CONTINUED We will undertake renewal and beautification projects in and around urban areas, such as at Governor’s Parade and Willis’s Road. STREET ART We will continue to roll out our Street Art programme, enhancing and beautifying many areas of Gibraltar in a way that will, in the future, become a feature of our city. Our programme will result in an Upper Town that will be attractive, full of life, and a centre for recreation and tourist interest. MUSEUM OF THE GIBRALTARIAN We will establish a combined archive/ museum of Gibraltarian identity at Duke of Kent House area where we will have permanent exhibitions on the Evacuation, Referendum, border closure etc. NAVAL & MILITARY HISTORY MUSEUM We will create a Naval and Military History Museum in the old Fortress Headquarters overlooking the historic Rosia Bay which is about to be handed back to the Government of Gibraltar as part of the arrangements agreed by the <strong>GSLP</strong> Liberal Government with the MOD. We will not allow this site to be taken over by developers. We will use this building, as is, to house a new military museum. The site is perfect as it overlooks the bay where the first Royal Marine came ashore in Gibraltar and where Nelson set sail aboard HMS Victory to the Battle of Trafalgar, and where his dead body was returned. The museum will be known as ‘The Gibraltar Museum of Naval & Military History’. It will be a new tourist attraction also, alongside the existing 100 Ton Gun exhibit. #GREENGIBRALTAR SIX NEW GARDENS AND GREEN AREAS We will continue to provide new green areas for the community to enjoy. In addition to the new Mount Park and the Northern Defences Park, we will develop a green corridor along Queensway and the City Walls to connect with Commonwealth Park and the new Midtown Park which is already under construction. MATURE COMMONWEALTH PARK We have already delivered a massive change to Queensway by the development of Commonwealth Park where the GSD was going to add more office towers. Commonwealth Park has been a great addition to our city and to the lives of our young children in particular. NEW MIDTOWN PARK We have now added the new Midtown Park area which continues the park area to the northern side of the Kings Bastion Leisure Centre, south of the much reduced Midtown Development. This will be an area for the Cross of Sacrifice and for additional green and recreational areas. This will include screens for outdoor movies, like the ‘Movies In The Park’ concept which we started at Commonwealth Park but had to be discontinued as a result of damage to the lawn areas. NEW QUEENSWAY CITY WALL PARKS In order to further enhance Queensway and to bring more green areas to our city, we will relocate the parking areas of Romney Huts and the are of The Sails parking in front of the City Walls and turn these also into green park land. That will mean that in the time we have been in office we will have turned most of the eastern side of Queensway into a park. This helps the fight against pollution, it provides more green areas for our children and it promotes a healthier lifestyle.
