Press Release - March 3 2008
While thanking you for your support,
which was vital in the withdrawal of the permits, we would
like to
inform
you
that
since our
last press release, whereby we informed you about the requests
to the MEPA to take action on the illegal developments on site
no action was taken.
Since no action was taken on the 5th of February 2008 another
correspondence was submitted to the Chairman of the MEPA
requesting that “Since our submission (4) four calendar
months have lapsed. Why did the MEPA fail to issue the relative
enforcement notice(s) when the Authority is aware of the
significant illegal development on the site?”
In the meantime, the developer Appealed against the withdrawal
of the outline permit 05138/02 (reference no 312/2007) which
appeal, was received by MEPA on Friday 07 2007 according
to the Mepa website and Appeals Board Agenda the hearing
is scheduled for Friday 27th June 2008. Appeal (no 320/2007)
against the withdrawal of permit 7902/05 was received by
Mepa on 5th December 2007 and Appeals Board Agenda is scheduled
for Friday 27th June 2008 according to information found
on the MEPA website.
The fact that no action has been taken to remove the illegal
development in-spite of the continuous requests for this
to be done, we are worried that after the election the previous
application will somehow be revived and the permits issued.
To-date only Alternattiva Demokratika and the Malta Labour
Party have publicly declared that they are against the project.
In the meantime Fund Raising Activities are currently being
organized by SaveRamla to be able to pay expenses incurred
in the revocation of the said permit and to further protect
this unique site.
More information can be seen on the website www.saveramla.com.
Thank you once more for your crucial, continuous support.
