Rooms in Dingli cliffs without permits
Last Sunday, after a hearty Easter Day lunch with the family, my girlfriend and I decided to take a walk at Dingli cliffs.
Since we were not the only ones who did so, our walk did not turn out to be as relaxed as we hoped it would be, and we soon found ourselves making our way down the slopes away from the usual walking route.
To our astonishment, although the way down was not one of the easiest, we found that we were not the only ones there - we realised that we were disturbing bird trappers and hunters who were very well camouflaged amid the greenery. It seems that hunters and bird catchers have built a whole village for themselves down there with rooms built in concrete, caves converted into rooms and closed down etc... all well camouflaged so that the birds coming from the sea would not notice them.
Can these people be allowed to build such rooms there? I seriously doubt it. But will the government do something about these and other rooms being built illegally all over Malta?
