The village of Côte d’Or, he underlined, has a population of less than 500 inhabitants, yet, the Government in collaboration with the District Council, left no stone unturned to invest in infrastructural projects so as to bring development in the village.
Furthermore, he encouraged the inhabitants of the village, in particular the youth, to take advantage of the facilities put at their disposal and to practise a physical activity and sports on a daily basis adding that at least one physical activity should form part of the daily routine of every citizen.
This football ground, Mr Jugnauth emphasised, is one of a series of projects that are on Government’s agenda, which is geared towards enhancing the quality of life of the population.
He also expressed satisfaction as regards the renovation works done on the football ground to include changing rooms, a petanque court, a children’s playground, and proper lighting so that football players can train themselves till late.
