Common sense has prevailed on Balluta

We have, through this newspaper and various other means of communication, objected to and shown our disapproval of the proposal by the St Julians local council to build a car park under Balluta Square.

It is now the moment for all the members of the Balluta Residents' Association/Save Balluta Square Group, and on behalf of the commercial establishments on and by the square and the majority of Balluta residents, to thank the mayor, Peter Bonello, and all the council members for accepting the will of the Balluta residents and as promised withdraw this project. We appreciate that this has been a hard step to take for the council but common sense has prevailed.

Our thanks also go to all those who have worked to bring about this positive result. Our association is ready to lend full support to the council in all that will be brought up in the future for the good and benefit of all St Julians and mainly for our area Balluta.
