One of the sites earmarked to be included within the new development zones is Il-Qortin Ta’ Barra, Mellieha. This area has always been a green area, enjoyed by all who live in Ta’ Bragg and Qortin. Part of the land is worked by farmers, while the rest is wild, and home to a large number of Harruba (carob) trees. We need to protect what beautiful area of countryside still remains, especially this one which is of great scenic and environmental value. Selmun Palace is a stone’s throw away and any development here will be significant to the visual impact of the area surrounding the Fort.
As residents of the area and citizens of Malta we strongly oppose any attempt to spoil this, all political and legal tactics to steal this away from us will be remembered in time to come.
