I refer to the letter The Uprooting Of Venerable Trees (September 29). In this letter, reference was made to trees on one side of Balluta valley.

The uprooting of various carob trees in the valley itself took place this month to make way for a development, which is in its initial stages. It is calculated that about 10 such trees have been uprooted.

Building is taking place on one side of the valley going upwards from the Balluta Bay side to the inner part of the valley.

Let's hope that this will be the last permit for development in this valley. Trees are so important for a healthy environment. It seems that the rape of Balluta valley has started.
