Nine initiatives in Valletta worth Lm6 million are among the projects for which EU structural and cohesion funds are being requested, Infrastructure Minister Francis Zammit Dimech said yesterday.

Dr Zammit Dimech said the government had already prepared the necessary documentation for its requests for the money.

These Valletta projects include the pedestrianisation of a larger area of the capital and the cleaning of underground drainage tunnels.

The minister yesterday visited four newly restored fountains, in St John Square and St George's Square.

The restoration of the fountains was sponsored by Bank of Valletta, which is also sponsoring the maintenance of the fountains for a five-year period. The work was carried out by the Valletta Rehabilitation Project.
