Polidano group start clearing up Hal Farrug illegal development

The Polidano group has said that it has started clearing up the area next to the Poligas plant in Hal Farrug, in a statement.

The illegal development was subject to a direct action by MEPA back in 2013 and was sealed off with concrete blocks.

“Tonnes of scrap materials were removed from an area covering over 13,000 sqm,” a statement by the group reads. It adds that clearing up works are still in progress, but that landscaping works have already started in some areas.

Polidano group added that last week it also started dismantling the tower at the animal park as instructed by MEPA.

“Given the nature of the surroundings of the tower this cannot be simply demolished, but needs to be dismantled, however works are speeding up,” they add.

They add that all works are being carried out under the supervision of Planning Authority officials.
