end and low-cost, affordable housing, as well as new berthing facilities. We will employ all current Gibdock employees in the redevelopment. BUNKERING REVIEW We will review the anchoring of ships bunkering on the west side of Gibraltar, and encourage well regulated LNG bunkering. IMO REGULATIONS ON SHIP FUELS We will ensure compliance with the new International Maritime Organisation regulations on shipping fuels as soon as they come into force. VAPOUR RECOVERY TECH We will require vapour recovery technology to be applied on all fuelling transactions from shipping as well as land-based activity. SUPPORT FOR NGOS In all our work on nature, biodiversity, climate change and heritage we will continue to foster constructive working relationships with all of Gibraltar’s nongovernmental organisations (NGOs). We will make funding available, along the lines of the long-established Cultural Grants, for NGO-led projects that enhance the environmental wellbeing of Gibraltar as well as research and conservation, MISCELLANEOUS STREET CLEANING We will continue to work on improving the cleanliness of Gibraltar by keeping street and estate cleaning schedules under continuous review in consultation with residents’ representatives. LITTER WARDENS We will designate more litter wardens to patrol our streets and enforce our laws. They will also have power to deal with dog owners who are not properly cleaning up their pets’ mess. MED STEPS We will enhance the walkways in these areas that are frequented by so many of our people. We need to ensure that the area is made safe and that we carry out necessary works in this respect. DOG PARKS We will upgrade the existing area for dogs in the Alameda Gardens, and complete the proposed dog park in the Europa Pool area. Dogs business is a big issue in Gibraltar, it does create a lot of frustrations and hatred between many. Let’s face it, dogs are not going anywhere any time soon so we need to find for ways to cater for them whilst causing minimum disruptions. Apart from the dog parks we are developing we will also facilitate some smaller dog areas strategically within Gibraltar’s densely populated areas as we consider that this will help aleviate this problem. WE HAVE DELIVERED & WE WILL DELIVER The GSLP Liberals have proved that they are big on Environment and have changed the way Gibraltar views the Environment. So you will know that we are able to achieve what we set out to do. We will work with all The new St Mary’s School 90 ...aspire to the best Gibraltar
sectors of the community, including NGOs, young people, community groups and businesses to achieve our environmental objective to set the highest standards. ENVIRONMENT - THE CLIMATE EMERGENCY We will establish a Select Committee of the Parliament on the Climate Emergency. We will offer that this committee should – exceptionally and in recognition of the global, cross party nature of this problem – be co-Chaired by the Chief Minister and the Leader of the Opposition. PROMOTING WALKING IN GIBRALTAR Having conducted a thorough review of crossing points in Gibraltar and taken action to make the vast majority, if not all, of these points disability friendly, we will now embark on a review of pedestrian traffic in Gibraltar, identifying areas where the interaction between pedestrian and vehicular traffic is problematic to determine the appropriate solutions, such as the protection of pedestrians behind railings and the increased use of pelican crossing. NOISE POLLUTION Despite being a bustling, thriving city, there is plenty we can do to tackle sources of noise pollution. The noise made by old and dirty diesel power stations will give way to far quieter, cleaner methods of energy production in LNG - but we can do more. VEHICLE EXHAUST NOISE On our roads, we will tighten legislation and provide our authorities with the equipment they need to clamp down on unnecessarily and illegally loud exhaust systems, whether through lack of repair or intentionally. Loud exhaust systems are a blight on Gibraltar’s soundscape and can only effectively be tackled with the use of mobile decibel meters and on the spot, fixed penalty notices CONSTRUCTION NOISE In construction, with the adoption of quiet piling methods and other strict controls on operating timeframes imposed on developers, we have come a long way in mitigating noise pollution from construction projects which, necessarily, form a significant part of Gibraltar’s economy. We will continue to work with our strategic partners to minimise, wherever possible, the noise and other pollution resulting from property development. CLEANLINESS The workers of the new Government contractor of cleaning services, Britannia will be provided with the latest cleaning equipment. SOCIAL MEDIA REPORTING APP Housing Issues, Environment Issues, Sewer Issues, Identified Road Issues, Illegal Works, Electricity Issues, Water Issues etc, all of these are now routinely reported to the whole community and world on social media instead of being reported to the relevant authorities for action. The younger generations do not go anywhere without their smart phones and the older generations have caught on too. We will therefore develop pages for public reporting on popular social media platforms and a reporting App. The working title for this will be “The Public Inspector App”. This will be designed as an easy to use App which allows the Public to report any incident/issue. EDUCATION EDUCATION Education has progressed under the GSLP Liberals like never before. We have built 6 excellent new schools, with another 6 under way in the advanced planning stages. We have introduced co-education, aligned school years to the Key Stage education programmes and introduced vocational courses for older students. We have made the Special Needs Co-ordinators (SENCOs) full time, allowing them to dedicate themselves more to the children. We have provided Learning Support Assistants in all upper Primary (Middle) School classes in order to support mixed ability learning which we have introduced. For the first time ever, we have full time counsellors in our school system and we are supporting and training teachers in dealing with the mental health of students. We are providing more scholarships than ever before. We have extended the arrival time to school in order to help working families and reduce congestion. We have begun the process of providing hot school lunches. The list is almost endless. But while we have further plans for improvement to build on all that we have already done, we are determined to continue supporting the teachers who perform the task of forming the skills and character of our future generations so well. Importantly, throughout the education system we will concentrate on life skills and self improvement of our children and young people. We will widen the options available and work with the teachers to make learning enjoyable and fulfilling. NEW SCHOOLS We have delivered the two new Comprehensive Schools at Bayside and Westside. These are really state of the art facilities that are amongst the best schools in Europe if not the world. Additionally the new complex at St Anne’s and Notre Dame has enhanced the are of Glacis, Laguna and Winston Churchill Avenue. We will continue negotiations to relocate the petrol station next to Notre Dame School. We will complete the new St Martin’s School soon after the end of 2019 and, Governor’s Meadow School and Bishop Fitzgerald School in 2020. NEW GIB COLLEGE We will commence work shortly on the new Gibraltar College, a building which will reflect its increasing role in developing education in their sector, including adult education, and introducing a wide range of vocational courses. The designs will be developed in detail with the teaching staff of the College. NEW SCHOOLS PROGRAMME The new schools programme is a key part of the work we are doing in modernising every aspect of education, including the fabric of our schools. By the time we complete this programme of investment in our schools, every school in Gibraltar will have been built by the GSLP, most with the Liberal Party.
