Dubai Municipality interacts with Al Barsha residents for development of two parks
The organisation's leadership team was headed by Marwan Ahmed bin Ghalita, Director General of Dubai Municipality.
During the meeting, the Municipality's Public Facilities Agency presented plans to develop two parks and a central recreational space covering more than 31,000 square feet. Residents shared their preferences to shape how the parks will be designed, including safe play areas for children and running tracks for athletes, to family seating spaces, cycling lanes, and accessible facilities for all.
Bin Ghalita stressed the importance of field engagement, commenting: 'Our citizens are our priority, and their voice is the foundation of any successful project. We do not just design parks on paper; we design them with the people and for the people, ensuring every individual feels the space is part of daily life and offers advanced well-being for the whole community.'
The discussion also addressed construction activity in the area, with updates on efforts to enhance and develop building systems, regulate housing rentals, and improve accommodation standards for bachelors, ensuring integrated urban development in Al Barsha.
The leaders highlighted initiatives designed to enhance customer experience, including the 'Happiness Vehicle', which visits citizens' homes to complete digital transactions, and the 'Virtual Appointment System' which enables direct communication with Dubai Municipality leadership from anywhere.

UAE's Fujairah marine fuel sales hit three-month high in July
Sales of marine bunker fuel at the UAE port of Fujairah rebounded in July after a slump in June to their highest in three months, Fujairah Oil Industry Zone data showed. July sales totalled 640,715 cubic metres (about 635,000 metric tonnes), up 13.8 per cent from June, based on FOIZ data published by SP Global Commodity Insights. The stronger volumes were led by a boost in high-sulphur marine fuel sales, which soared to their highest since January 2024, climbing 28.4 per cent from June to 205,597 cubic metres in July. A wider price difference between low-sulphur fuel oil and high-sulphur fuel oil likely drove more sales of the high-sulphur variety in July. The front-month hi-5 price spread, which reflects the premium of low-sulphur over high-sulphur fuel oil, hit a six-month high of over $95 a ton near mid-July, LSEG data showed. Meanwhile, low-sulphur marine fuel sales, including low-sulphur fuel oils and marine gasoils, rose 8.0 per cent to 435,118 cubic metres. The market share of high-sulphur bunkers widened to 32 per cent in July, while low-sulphur bunkers narrowed to 68 per cent.
