ABU DHABI // Three road maintenance projects have been completed by Abu Dhabi City Municipality at Wathba South, New Nahdha and Old Nahdha to upgrade the infrastructure of residential neighbourhoods.

The municipality has finalised construction and maintenance of internal roads as part of the Abu Dhabi Mainland Project. This included completing traffic safety work at Wathba South, maintenance of the entrance to New and Old Nahdha and construction of internal roads, parking, road markings, pavements, footpaths, levelling and lighting poles works.

Existing infrastructure in Wathba Park will be improved with upgradation plans for the train, walkways, lighting, toilets and boundary wall. Other projects the municipality will undertake include the Wathba Library and the Wathba Residents Council project at Wathba South.

The municipality plans to construct a new communal market for Wathba that is currently served by one market and four communal markets.

How the bonus system works

The two riders are among several riders in the UAE to receive the top payment of £10,000 under the Thank You Fund of £16 million (Dh80m), which was announced in conjunction with Deliveroo's £8 billion (Dh40bn) stock market listing earlier this year.

The £10,000 (Dh50,000) payment is made to those riders who have completed the highest number of orders in each market.

There are also riders who will receive payments of £1,000 (Dh5,000) and £500 (Dh2,500).

All riders who have worked with Deliveroo for at least one year and completed 2,000 orders will receive £200 (Dh1,000), the company said when it announced the scheme.
