Ever since being elected, we have worked hard on establishing a solid relationship of respect and trust between the Government and the Heritage Trust. We have undertaken numerous projects throughout Gibraltar in order to restore sites which have a heritage value and we have consistently prevented development which would adversely affect Gibraltar’s heritage product.
The protection and restoration of archaeological sites such as Gorham’s Cave and Forbes’ Quarry has also been a top priority for this Government. Since being elected, Gorham’s Cave has received UNESCO World Heritage Status and we have continually funded archaeological research into other sites throughout Gibraltar.
