MEPA has stepped up its inspections of building sites as part of the current Crackdown on Littering Campaign. Enforcement officers have carried out hundreds of inspections on construction sites in the past few months to ensure that the right tools are used and that the sites are properly secured in order to guarantee safety and stop dust from flying all over the place..

Mario Pandolfino (seen above) said that reports of abuses at construction sites, which were received daily, were all followed-up. The fines for contraventions range between €233 and €2,233. Only nine localities around Malta and Gozo are being heavily monitored in this regard since the system requires more human and financial resources. However, there are plans for this to be phased in to different areas shortly.
