A substantial part of the former waste dump at il-Qortini, Xaghra, Gozo, has been transferred to Enemalta which willl be installing photovoltaic (PV) panels there, Environment Minister Leo Brincat said in reply to a parliamentary question.

Gozo shadow minister Chris Said had asked why work on a family park planned on the site had been discontinued. He pointed out that the site was closed seven years ago.  

Speaking later on the adjournment, Dr Said said the former government had been on its way to develop the family park. Mepa permits had been issued and the site was being rehabilitated and covered with soil.

He said the PV farm would be an eyesore seen from practically everywhere in Gozo.
