Floriana housing project
A recent news item reported that the Floriana housing project was at a standstill.
I appeal to the chairman of the Housing Authority and the Minister for Social Policy to restart the construction of the project in Triq Argotti which has been at a standstill for well over a year. Once the project is completed, I urge that the apartments be given to people originally hailing from Floriana.

Mr Torpiano, I am a Housing Development Officer in the UK. The restriction of lets to people from Floriana could easily be done with the Housing Authority agreeing a Local Letting Criteria. I create one of these quite often on rural sites where prices are too much for local people to get on the housing ladder. The policy states that preference for occupation will be restricted to people who live, work and/or have family in the area. People should ideally be derived from the Council housing waiting list who meet all three, but sometimes this is hard and we have housed people who met the residency criteria (come from area) and maybe with a family or work connection.
Hope this helps. If you want to see a copy of the policy email me at daniel.russell@redditchbc.gov.uk
