Of late Mepa embarked on a closing down programme of idle and silent scrap yards, citing, among other reasons, the fact that these were situated too close to residential buildings.

The scrap yard cum recycle plant near Hompesch Arch and a windmill is only metres away from two interlinked housing estates, namely Zabbar housing estate and Bulebel Iz-zghir. The scrap yard causes nuisance from machinery noise and rust deposits on neighbouring residencies.

Is it envisaged that this scrap yard will be closed down in the near future under the scheme?
