Dwejra Lines flowerbed

I just heard the news that the flowerbed which embellished part of the Dwejra Lines in memory of Queen Victoria for more than thirty years, is no longer. What a shame! Is this the way we try to instil in our children the love for nature and history of our islands, by destroying instead of enhancing what is part of our heritage?
On the 29 October, the MEPA Board decided against the upkeep of this flowerbed and to be removed within six days.
What is the reason? What harm was it causing? Hundreds of Maltese and tourists, who roamed in the vicinity for many years, appreciated such a beautiful asset both to nature and historical heritage.
I am perplexed that at this day and age, when it is our responsibility to minimise damage to the environment, exterminating a beautiful attraction for a parking place, is incredulous.
