The Culture Minister said in par- liament on Tuesday that excavation works on the site in Albert Town were delayed because of archaeo- logical finds that had to be investi- gated. He was closing the debate on his ministry's financial estimates. The Planning Authority approved the construction a carnival village spread over an area of approxi- mately 18,500sq.m in 2016. How- ever, five years later the area re- mains barren. The original project had to in- clude two buildings facing the en- tranceway, 18 large and eight small interactive workshops, a parking area, a parade ground including an outdoor theatre, a museum, a sou- venir shop, an audio-visual centre, a dance rehearsal studio, a cafeteria and offices. But now, Herrera has said gov- ernment will unveil new plans to develop the project into a "culture and arts community" that apart from warehouses for carnival en- thusiasts, will also include rehears- al studios for musicians and spaces for artists. He did not elaborate whether the new plans will expand beyond the original area identified for the carnival village but said the project will help regenerate the area. Herrera said the budget has allo- cated €1.3 million for the project next year. Opposition leader Bernard Grech criticised the government in his budget reaction speech over the in- ability to get any work done on the carnival village despite promises made several years back.
