I refer to the article in the Malta Today on Sunday 21st November by Julian Manduca concerning the new golf course.
I noted the feeble title given to the proposed Ta’ Gawhar Safi site i.e. “used for bird trapping”. MEPA here leads one to believe that tenants are using the area for bird trapping purposes only. This is absolutely not true. Bird trapping occurs there equally to all the other sites proposed by MEPA.
And how come this site is being identified as Ta’ Gawhar Safi. The area also includes Tal-Geddum, Ta’ Germaw and all the land bordered by Triq Tal-Gawhar, Triq Hlantun up to Misrah Hlantun, down to Ta’ Farfar and up to Hal Far Road.
Sixty percent of the Safi site is fertile agricultural land. The remaining forty percent is covered with hundreds of carob trees, which as far as I know are protected.
And what about the rubble walls? Will these end up buried under the new golf course?
