Dwejra Enforcement Cases

DWEJRA: What is happening in this part of the Earth?

Is this supposed to be a natural park or what?

No wonder that many voters are dumb silence!

What happened to all these enforcements?

I think that politicians need to decide whether their interest is in simply gaining votes or else the future sustainable jobs for Gozitans and quality tourism. Please stop taking citizens of goodwill for a ride.

"Concrete structures in a national park contrast completely with the Prime Minister’s promise that Gozo would become an ecological island. In this way we are simply killing the goose which lays the golden eggs”


Victor Galea

Not Ta' Cenc, neither Ramla or Hondoq but Dwejra

The Malta Environment and Planning Authority has stopped work on the Interpretative Centre at Dwejra pending further investigations as it is possible that there are deviations from the approved plans.

The Regional Committee of Alternattiva Demokratika in Gozo welcomed the decision of the Planning Authority to stop further concrete works at Dwejra.

“Mepa should take this opportunity to ensure that all activities carried out to implement the Management Plan for Dwejra are fully transparent and that those responsible for its implementation are fully accountable and monitored” said Victor Galea, the Green Party’s spokesman for Gozo.

Who is providing poles in Gozo?

Some time ago, I was informed that in Ghasri, a man who built an illegal borehole (one on the so many in Gozo) and electric poles were installed in the countryside in order for this man to have access to electricity. You can read more about this by clicking here.

I am not sure if there were any formal objectors for this site.

I would like to give you an example of what happens when citizens are not afraid to report/object to something which is unjust.

Our (AD) candidate for Munxar and Xlendi, Mr. Michael Bajada, recently formally objected to the installation of electrical poles without permit in Triq Ras il-Bajjada and Triq il-Qsajjam, forming part of an undisturbed stretch of countryside leading from the tranquil village of Munxar to Xlendi cliffs.

Journalist Francesca Vella from the Malta Independent wrote extensively about this back in October 9th 2007. Please press the link here to read about it.

Result:
Electricity poles finally removed from rural area in Gozo. Please press the link here and read about this success story of what happens when citizens are not afraid to report irregularities, on time and to the right authorities.

I would also like to thank journalist David Darmanin from MaltaToday for bringing up this subject to light in his article 'No Mepa policy for poles and pylons'. Read here.

AD remains here for your service. Use it.

Have a look at this photo gallery:





These old poles were removed in early 90's from Triq Ras il-Bajjada from Munxar to Xlendi.









The counrtyside looks better without poles and no light pollution.










Then in December 2007, Enemalta erected again the poles at Triq Ras il-Bajjada and Triq il-Qsajjam, forming part of an undisturbed stretch of countryside leading from the tranquil village of Munxar to Xlendi cliffs.







AD took immediate action; the site is back to normal by end of March 2008.







Reminder: AD is the best tool for Gozitans of goodwill. If you are one of them, get in touch. Let's work together for the benefit of our island.

Cheers,

Victor
