Alternattiva Demokratika voiced its concern yesterday following what it claimed to be a number of complaints by Gozitan residents about the demolition site of “The Duke” in Victoria.
The characteristic old Duke of Edinburgh Hotel in Rabat (Victoria) was demolished last July to make way for an apartment block during the peak season to the horror of peak season visitors, the party said.
AD Gozo is questioning how MEPA can allow the mess at the building site to continue.
AD Chairman Harry Vassallo said: “When the hotel was being pulled down, the clouds of dust and debris on Republic Street gave a clear message to visitors. This message is still being given out every day – Gozo does not care about its tourists. Is it any wonder that many tourists will never return to Gozo which is starting to resemble a building site?”
He said that the car park and roads leading from the area are now awash with mud, dust and rubble.
