Efforts are underway to push for a significant policy shift that could see residents in Bahrain’s newly-urbanised areas receiving vital infrastructure services and public facilities without having to wait for years. At present, the Housing and Urban Planning Ministry mandates that at least 50 per cent of any residential development must be inhabited before services such as roads, lighting, public transport, schools, clinics, parks and sewage systems are set up. Municipal leaders believe this policy is outdated and leads to prolonged suffering, especially for families who are among the first to move into new areas, often having to endure years of isolation and lack of basic amenities.

A renewed call to upgrade infrastructure and essential facilities at Hamad Town’s historic Souq Waqif has been made by the Northern Municipal Council, as part of ongoing efforts to enhance the market’s long-term appeal and functionality.

British rock band Oasis reunited in Cardiff on Friday as the Gallagher brothers put more than 16 years of acrimony behind them to deliver a hit-packed set that took thousands of fans back to the optimism and swagger of the 1990s. The Manchester band defined the "Britpop" revival of guitar music, before tensions between Noel Gallagher, the band's main songwriter, and his younger brother, lead singer Liam, led to its split. The group walked onto the stage in the 74,500-capacity Principality Stadium and launched into "Hello," sounding as tight as at the height of their fame.

More than 13,200 single-use plastic water bottles have been collected by a Bahrain-based community group as part of a campaign that aims to educate people about the importance of reducing plastic waste and cleaning up the environment. Budaiya Hub, part of the Global Shapers Community (GSC), revealed the figures as they posted a video on Instagram, highlighting their ‘Plastic Free July’ initiative and encouraging the local community to do their part. It follows a call made by GSC to hubs around the world to contribute a short film showing the impact they have made in their local communities in the fight against plastic pollution. “When we saw a statistic by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development that said plastic leakage into the environment is expected to increase by 50 per cent by 2040, we wanted to do our part to help,” Budaiya Hub environmental consultant and shaper Rahma Aleskafi told the GDN.
