S.D.R.=Stop Destroying Ramla Dear friends, as you may have heard by now our lovely bay, the most beautiful bay in Malta, Ramla Bay, is in danger of being severely exploited by unscrupulous developers who are moving ahead with their plans to build no less than 23 villas with pools and underground parkings just under Calypso cave. Ramla Bay as we know it will be no more. THE APPLICATION FOR BUILDING THIS TOURIST COMPLEX WAS SHAMEFULLY APPROVED BY MEPA (the Maltese planning authority) ON WENDESDAY 6TH JUNE AT 11AM. Environmental NGOs have outrightly condemned this decision. The Xaghra Local Council did too. This Sunday, 10th June, at 2pm a protest and a press-conference are being organized in Ramla Bay. This event will be organized by Alternattiva Demokratika, the Maltese green party, but this will not be a political activity, this will be our chance to do something and defend Ramla Bay for the interest of all Xaghrin, all Gozitans, and all those who enjoy our lovely bay. We all should be proud to show that we care about our heritage, our environment, our town. A few individuals will get rich by destroying our very own Ramla Bay.. We don't accept that. I invite you all to come to Ramla Bay, bring your family and friends with you... enjoy the afternoon by the sea and let's show all the Maltese people who will watch the news on Sunday evening that Ramla Bay is not for sale! That the Xaghrin and all Gozitans can be united. See you on Sunday. And please pass on the message to all your friends. God Bless |

Wirt Ghawdex, the Gozo Heritage Society, joins other N.G.O.'s in condemning the manner in which permits for development in such sensitive areas as Ramla Bay in Gozo are being issued. Past mistakes should not have been aggravated by extending the foot-print of the new development beyond the area already disturbed in an otherwise pristine bay. It is incomprehensible how an Environment Impact Assessment was deemed unnecessary for a site of such natural and ecological beauty. The deplorable fact that the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage was completely ignored, when it is common knowledge that the area is replete with archeological remains, highlights the urgent need for amendments to the Cultural Heritage Act to make this national watchdog of our country's patrimony much more effective. |

S.O.S - Save Our Sands - Mepa members are obliged to resign for the mess and havoc they are wreathing on the islands and tha Ramlla Approval is the worst of its kind. If they do not resign, then the Hon. Minister George Pullicino M.P. should if he is unable to reign in MEPA to observe what he writes and says about preserving the environment for the enjoyment of all, if he honestly means it. |

Please, there are not many beautiful natural sights left in world and Ramla il- Hamra is one of the few left. Please don't let greed win over God's intentinal beauty. All they want to do is line their pockets with money, they don't care what happens to anyone or anything else. Please don't defend greediness and lets do our utmost to keep Ramla as God intended. |
