Villas next to protected sites
Last Monday, hundreds of protesters called on government to revoke the Mepa permit for the building of 23 villas on the clay slopes between the Calypso Cave and Ramla l-Hamra Bay. A derelict building is currently occupying part of the site, which extends to just a few metres away from two listed areas, including a Natura 2000 site, recognised by the EU due to its international ecological importance. The protestors also urged authorities to stop the proposed mega construction project, including a yacht marina, a hotel and hundreds of apartments, at Hondoq ir-Rummien, another pristine Gozitan bay.
Over 8,000 Maltese and foreign individuals signed a petition calling for the annulment of the permit for villas at Ramla l-Hamra.
