The Government Property Division yesterday continued with its enforcement exercise against illegal street furniture and other items sprawling onto public land by commercial establishments.
Accompanied by the Police and workers from the Public Works Department, the GPD yesterday continued their exercise at the Valletta bus terminus, after serving an enforcement notice to the establishments’ owners on 3 October, to regularise their position at law. The letters warned them that their street furniture was not in conformity with the law, and ordered them to sanction the situation with official permits, or else remove the furniture from the street.
Actions against street furniture have already taken place in Sliema and in Valletta by the GPD, accompanied by police officers.
The GPD said the owners had taken up occupied public land illegally.
Six establishments were found to have broken the law, with 29 tables, 86 chairs, 10 umbrellas, and other benches, shelving, freezers, fridges, and flower pots removed from the place.
